Role:

As the UI/UX Designer for this project, I was responsible for creating the overall look and feel of the Pizza Express app. I collaborated closely with a product manager who provided the project brief, and together we developed the brand identity, including colors, typography, and visual style. I created an inspiration board to guide the visual direction, mapped out the user journey to ensure a seamless experience, and designed key screens and interactions. My work culminated in the development of a high-fidelity prototype that was presented to stakeholders

Design Process

The design process began with understanding the project requirements and goals through detailed discussions with the product manager, who provided the brief. Together, we focused on developing a strong brand identity for the app. This involved creating an inspiration board to guide the visual and conceptual direction, and establishing the brand's colors, typography, and overall visual style. We then mapped out the user journey to ensure a seamless and intuitive experience, identifying key touchpoints and interactions that needed attention.


With the foundation set, I moved on to the design phase, where I developed the concept design, including key screens and user interactions. I created wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes to visualize the design solutions, ensuring they aligned with the brand identity and user needs. Throughout this phase, I iterated on the designs based on feedback from the product manager and usability testing. The process culminated in a polished prototype that was ready to be presented to stakeholders, showcasing a cohesive and user-friendly design aimed at enhancing the overall user experience of the Pizza Express app.
