Quantitative Research
In the qualitative analysis, I interviewed 15 people to understand more on the pain points of what is stopping them from pursuing journalling more often and also to figure out the needs they are really after

User Flow Diagram
Below is a breakdown of the typical flow of journaling apps, the route I wanted to explore more was when the user records their entry in the journal via voice, AI could aid in suggesting by picking up the users tone, if they need additional help
Low Fidelity Wireframes
To flesh out the flow of the app, I started to wireframe some key low fi layouts to get a first look and feel to see if the function and usability is user friendly and clean.
High Fidelity Wireframes
After a few iterations of the wireframes, the next step was to add some real content and to bring the whole design to life. The purpose of this stage was to get close to how the user would experience the final app in a working and visual manner.
Key Components
Key components used throughout the app, so they can be re-used again across the whole app.
