Rise and Shine Cafe

Project Overview

I designed the Rise and Shine Cafe mobile app and responsive website using Figma. The goal was to develop a platform that allows users to reserve tables at the cafe and place orders for pickup.

My role

  • Full UX/UI Design Process

  • User Research

  • Animations

Insights from User Interviews

To design my app effectively, I needed to understand users' pain points. Including a diverse group of people in my research was crucial for identifying ways to enhance the user experience and generate beneficial ideas. I conducted interviews with five participants, gathering key insights that helped me kickstart the process of building my mobile app.

Task Flow & Sitemap

Ideation Sketches

Creating a task flow was instrumental in organizing content and planning the layout of my app. This preparation was key to designing both paper and digital wireframes. Research indicated the necessity for a short, concise reservation process, limited to a few pages.

I could visualize the steps users would take to navigate from one page to another. With this understanding, I was prepared to begin creating my paper and digital wireframes.

Creating paper sketches is vital when developing a project as it helps plan content and features. Understanding user needs and turning them into visual sketches forms the basis for user-friendly app design.

It was time to start implementing new elements into my designs. I created my own color palette, added typography, and updated the layout. Incorporating images was also essential to bring my app to its final form. These elements brought life to my designs and showcased how the final product would look and function. I completed connecting the screens and made both of my prototypes interactive.

High Fidelity Prototypes

Building a Mobile Website

I started refining my designs based on the results of a recent usability study, which included five carefully selected participants. I asked them a series of questions and gathered valuable feedback. Using their insights, I made the necessary updates to my design.

It was time to start implementing new elements into my designs. I created my own color palette, added typography, and updated the layout. Incorporating images was also essential to bring my app to its final form. These elements brought life to my designs and showcased how the final product would look and function. I completed connecting the screens and made both of my prototypes interactive.

I completed the high-fidelity prototypes and was ready to start designing the mobile website. I resized components and rearranged elements to fit the new frame size. After finishing my mockups, I made the necessary connections and completed the high-fidelity prototype.
