This contract project was to redesign some of the UX that existed within an existing app, ensuring that it would seamlessly fit within the existing visual interface.
MyFitnessPal is a calorie-tracking and fitness app, with a very minimal UI that's focused on usability over visual style. The portion of the app that handled activity and exercise tracking was newer and a bit clunkier than the rest of the app at the time, and their team wanted to improve usability and polish the UI.
This was a trial project, so I didn't have access to much in the way of real user data, which is where I would typically begin to identify pain points. Instead, I based my suggestions for improvements on my own experience, and had a couple friends try to use the existing tool and give me their feedback, as a simple form of user testing.
What's shown here is my process for revising MyFitnessPal's existing UI, starting with a simple user flow, and some deliverables in the form of annotated mockups.
As a final step I turned these mockups into a simple interactive prototype to share with their team. This was a trial project and I don't believe these changes were ultimately implemented in the app, but they definitely made the exercise tracking process easier to use.
