My role
User Experience • Interface • Research • Branding Designer
As this was a self-initiated project, I served as both User Experience and Interface Designer. This being my first project as a full-stack designer, I learned extensively about each phase, from initiating the idea and conducting user research to performing user testing, gaining a deep understanding of each process.
The Problem
There’s a general lack of awareness about which fitness matters.
While numerous apps claim to be the most effective for physical training, the value of a personal coach in achieving a fit mind and body is undeniable. Therefore, this app aims to bridge the gap between technology and individual coaching in fitness.

The Vision
To create a fitness app that helps any athlete, new or pro in customising their workout, aids their progress and helps them get the right coaching for the same.

My Learnings
As this was my first project as a full-stack UX designer, the learnings have been profound and enlightening. While outcomes can vary, the process of designing experiences that users can integrate into their lives is incredibly rewarding. Here are some key insights I've gained:
1. Deep User Understanding: Simply conducting surveys isn't enough to truly understand users. It involves challenging our biases and embracing new perspectives to grasp their real needs and motivations.
2. Problem Prioritization: Every problem is unique, and as a designer, it's crucial to gauge the severity of each issue. While a system may have multiple problems, aligning our priorities with user needs and addressing issues methodically is key.
3. Enjoy the Process: UX design is immensely enjoyable when approached correctly. Embracing the fun of diving deep into user personas enhances the creative process and leads to better outcomes.
These lessons will guide me in future projects, ensuring that my approach to UX design continues to evolve and improve.
