Enable collection of: Bird species and number of birds per species, Location and time of sighting, Whether you spotted the bird at a feeder or in the field, A bird’s sex (treated as an optional input), Start and stop time of your count session.

N^o 2Role

Researcher & Designer

N^o 3Product Research

Since this was my first time designing for a bird watching or research app, I needed to get more clarity by researching their existing product, The Audubon Bird Guide.

N^o 4User Research

I started with focusing on the experience of two primary user personas for this app.

N^o 5Primary User Flow

The user flow for both users will almost be similar while focusing on the features offered.

N^o 6Assumptions

1. Product has data about the kinds of birds who exist in a particular location
2. There might be users who might know the birds name or might not know

N^o 7Sketching & Wireframes

I started with some rough sketches to get the user flow and converted them into wireframes to test them with users.

N^o 8User Testing & Feedback

I emailed the wireframes to test with the user and connected on Google Meet to receive feedback.

N^o 9Feedback Changes

I analyzed user feedback, reflected necessary changes on UI and UX while simplifying the process for novice users.

N^o 10Final Wireframes

The final wireframes included the updated version of the experience.

N^o 11Mockups & Prototype

Mockups & Prototype are focused on the primary user flow.

N^o 12Learnings

This exercise was an interesting learning experience for me because it provided me with a new concept to research and design for a completely new audience.
