smart lighting APP
User Interface: visual design | iconography | cross-functional collaboration
OVERVIEW
Purpose: Design the user interface for the CLEANLIFE® Smart brand lighting app that controls the brand’s light bulbs and fixtures.
Audience: Consumers who have purchased CLEANLIFE® Smart products and will utilize the app to control and customize various device features in the home.
Role: As the visual designer, I collaborated with the product development team to create the UI layout. Understanding the product’s capabilities and intended functions, while also anticipating how customers would interact with the product, was crucial to the design process.
DESIGN
The concept was to create a dark-themed, visually sleek UI that is user-friendly. The dark UI showcases the color temperature and color of light mimicking how we use the product: a darker space where light/color is introduced. The highlight color provides good contrast for ease of usability and creates a sleek, elegant design giving the product a more high-tech feel. Implementing dark grays instead of black helps reduce eye strain and creates depth through use of shadows.
