Julia is in a pinch. She needs her morning coffee to function but is pressed for time. In order to start the day off right, she wants it hot. Julis would also appreciate some finance tracking capabilities and tips on how to save.

Design a coffee-ordering application for Buckstars with the following features:

- Ensures coffee is correct temperature upon pick-up
- Allows users to track how much money they’ve spent and where
- Provides tips on how to save further

Through interviews and personas, I started to get a better understanding of what users wanted to see from this app:

While I did not create every possible screen of this app for this design challenge creating a flow diagram was extremely helpful when trying to determine what information would be on each screen and how they would connect.

Before venturing too far into design I always make a guidelines to inform the designs. This ensures they are consistent across the screens which is key to making a recognizable brand.

The final app aims to be fun and approachable for wine lovers of all levels. The bright colors and friendly text makes it clear that this app is not just educational, but fun too!

Now that the app is complete, it’s time to send it into the world! After the app has been live for a few weeks, we should begin collecting feedback from users in order to improve performance. Depending on our budget and time we could consider a couple of options. Surveys sent out over email provide a great low-budget, low effort way to get an idea of the customer experience and how much they are enjoying the app. With more resources, we could randomly select 5 - 15 users to participate in a usability test. We would assign them tasks to complete in the app and observe the obstacles they run into which would highlight the areas we need to change that we, as designers, may have developed a blindspot to.

Over 8% of Americans are visually impaired. This app was built with this in mind and through the use of color contrast, font size and screen reader friendly coding, I aimed to make this app accessible for all. The original design contains flaws in contrast for people with low vision which is why, if this app ever were to get developed, I would prioritize creating an ADA version that users would be prompted to toggle on or off when they first launch the app (and have the option of adjusting later in the Settings section as well).
