The 5 Star app I designed for a good cause.

I was tasked to solve a very personal problem.

When taking care of a loved one, how can I still feel loved, needed, valuable, strong, encouraged, and less stressed?

I turned Care Management into a social app that encouraged the team of friends/family to support one another.

I gamified the experience.

Task 1: Learn about the users (Cie had conducted beautiful interviews with real care givers)

Task 2: Go off and learn and design on my own. Don’t just look at health or medical apps - look at goal or habit forming apps, learning apps, apps that make people feel good about any work they do.

Task 3: Facilitate team white boarding sessions

Task 4: Deliver 5 different designs for onboarding, homepage set up, and “social kindness” features to help users feel good about this very daunting task of caring for a sick loved one.

I had 20 hours of contract time. I did it in 18.
