Functional prototype link (Figma)
“Early Bird” is a UI project and citizen science app prototype made during my study abroad in Australia, aiming to highlight an endangered Australian-prominent species, genus, or family. I chose Peripatopsidae, a velvet worm family, and built a prototype and icon set in Figma.
I aimed for an approachable, high-clarity look to encourage curiosity and engagement. I was responsible for all aspects, from research and design documents (Illustrator) to diagrams (Procreate) to icon creation and app prototype (Figma). The attached design document details my UI research, user testing, and design choices.
