The Problem
The limited functionality of the app needed to be expanded in order to offer more value to the user. I led several ideation meetings in order to come up with a set of features we wanted to add. Some features we thought would increase the use were an addition of a community component where members could feel a part of a larger mindfulness movement and a meditation timer that would allow a user to not only time their meditation but also track it. We also wanted to add free meditations into the app and curate the content for the user providing user-friendly filtering tools. The additional challenge was the upcoming update of the e-commerce site that had major visual updates, which did not match the current app design and created an inconsistent experience for the user between the two platforms.
The Solution
The solution was to phase out the app development into two: one (Version 1.2) that would update the functionality and a second one (Version 2.0) that would add further functional improvements and a facelift to match the e-commerce platform's redesign effort. The functional requirements have undergone numerous changes, and there were many iterations, wireframes, and prototypes I created before we reached a desirable potential product.
