Making it accessible.
Technology is a big part of the society of today, but at the same time can be a hard tool to interact with for old people or those who don’t need it for their job.
My goal was to create an intuitive user experience to make it accessible to everyone and let people know how easy and useful can be.

Research information to fulfill every task.
I have approached this project by creating two user persona for me to get to know their perspective and try to fulfill at best the requirements.

Defining the architecture.
Since the app has a lot of interactions and controls multiple functionalities inside the house, I explored every aspect to predict which type of information the user might need or want to search when facing different options and screens.
Establishing a user workflow is a key part of every project that I work on. From that, I try to analyze every aspect and create a layout that reflects the client’s needs.
