CHILLHUAHUA and the remote workers

At the begining of 2021, the pandemic situation was still present and I had already finished university. So, in order to find my field inside graphic design, I started the UX/UI Design course in Coderhouse, an eLearning platform.
The structure of the classes was built in a way that you could end up with a final project of your own! and I chose a need that was affecting me and many people in our daily lives: Mental health care and good time management in those moments of confinement.

Proposal & MVP

So, I made a proposal for these times of quarantine and growing digital activity, a range of options for the user to:

Customize their experience and schedules.
Work with therapeutic tools-activities.
Get a weekly/monthly feedback of these activities.

UX Process Begins!

In order to find a balance, it was necessary to work focusing into 2 subjects: Therapeutic field and Organization fiels.
As consecuense, the benchmarking would include 3 therapeutic apps (Calm, Meditopia & Yana) and 3 apps for remote workers (Trello, Monday & Asana).

At the same time, the analisis works through 3 usability axis: Steps, Design and vocabulary.
All of this to get to the advantages/disadvantages conclusions.

Next steps are the User Persona, the Card Sorting, (which results will be displayed as a Dendrogram), Information Architecture and Flowcharts.

First User Testing Prototype

* Little note about the namming:
In the beggining, the app was called "Laborapp", a mix between the words "work"(in spanish) and "app". The concept evolved to include the mental health item and ended up being called "Chillhuahua", to give also sense for its mascot (a chihuahua who, instead of being nervous, has always everything under control ;) )

Using those Medium Quality wireframes, I made a little functional prototype with Adobe XD to start testing with users.
After this exercise, I could get enough information to do an heuristic test and start an iteration.
