BaoBuds - Concept Gamified Task Management App

I worked within a team of three to determine how to help users stay accountable and achieve their goals. By means of user research, C&C analysis, and ideation, we came up with the idea of gamifying a task management app, and creating characters that would achieve goals as the user checks off their task list.

We developed a game called BaoBuds (Bao + Accountability Buddy = BaoBud), which features adorable, decorated bao buns that go on their own adventure. They move on to their next step if the user checks off a task, and they stumble if they don't complete their task on time. If you succeed, they succeed.

I had the pleasure of being a researcher, UX designer, visual designer and animator on this project. It is still in the works, but here is a snapshot of what we came up with.
