Design Process:
In my design process, I focused on understanding user needs by researching efficient scheduling systems and creating user personas. This guided the development of a user flow and wireframes, refining each interaction for the application. I then created a brand identity for SchedulEase, developing a style guide with thoughtful typography and color choices to evoke the right emotions. Finally, I focused on the UI design, ensuring visual screens aligned with the system design while enhancing usability.
