High-Fidelity Adjustments
• While reviewing the screens, I identified some open questions regarding the usability of the screens I was given.
• Designers can only assume where the user might get stuck, especially if they’ve been involved with a design for too long, potentially losing an overview of everything.
• Since I had recently interacted with the screens in this stage of the project, I was able to mark parts of the screens that needed a redo.
• Additionally with the results of the usability tests, I was able to make the needed changes within the UI.






Handoff-Guide
While working on the user interface, we discussed the next steps for the app, such as bringing Rise Ritual to life with a developer.
As an Ironhack alumni, I reached out on the #jobs_global thread to developers through Slack, and Cleo immediately received a response from Gaspar, who was participating in the part-time Dev-Bootcamp at Ironhack.

Preparing the Screens
• Cleaned up the layers, named and ungrouped unnecessary elements, created frames instead, and transformed unequal sizes and numbers to equal ones
• I connected all the screens with their fonts, elements, and colors using the saved styles and components.
Dev-Mode Figma
Since Figma recently released the Dev-Mode, the prototype and styles were immensely beneficial in this process. Gaspar was able to navigate through the prototype, view the comments, and utilize the saved library to develop the app. Only a few live calls and messages on Slack were needed for clarification.




Branding & App Store Slides
The core of the branding was rooted in the founder's vision; my role involved taking the reins and refining the extensive array of colors and correcting typos, transforming it from a cluttered canvas into a streamlined and polished representation. After some design critiques that Cleo conducted, I streamlined the fonts and colors.
In addition to that, I was asked to design some slides for the App Store.

RISE into the day!
Within the prototype, you can observe that the user is rising to the sky during the registration process. I was tasked with designing the background for these screens, and I created a seamless image using Adobe Photoshop for this purpose.
Routine Builder and Disc Library
In addition to the routine builder, where users have access to routines prepared by Cleo and packed with data, there is also a Disc Library where exercises are categorized and stored. These can be unlocked over time and through a specific process.
Legal Pages and Basics
Necessary legal and personal profile pages have been added, along with screens for cases where the user forgets their password, wants to create a new profile, or delete their existing profile.
Today's Message
The dynamic astrological message on the home screen, which adapts to real-time data from the founder regarding astrological changes, has been revamped with a more captivating and user-friendly design.

Next Steps
Next Steps
• Extending the Routine Builder with more routines and adding screens for the routines that are currently still in progress.
• A walk-through of the app with pop-ups to help the user understand how the app works.
•Finding founders to build a definite team for the app.
• Extending the registration process with more intro screens that collect data from the user and their preferences for their daily routines.
Learnings
Learnings
I really appreciated this experience since it was my first time working closely with a developer.
In addition to that, I learned how to find a balance between independent thinking and working, incorporating my own thoughts and perspectives into the process while still considering the wishes and feedback from the founder. Also, always putting the user at the center of the design and communicating clearly and precisely within the team — especially in a remote setting.
