Easy Grid is a social scheduling app. The concept was to merge productivity and social media with the ability to sync schedules with friends and find overlapping free times.

The app notifies users when they’ve crossed paths with a friend for more opportunities to be social. In this mobile design project, we focused on UI animations, branding, and efficiency in task flows.

BRAIN STORMING
We developed user personas and storyboards for our concept. This initial process helped us focus on the key features for the app.

TASK FLOWS
Task flows were developed after testing different scheduling apps. We explored clicking on icons, menus, and other affordances to complete the task.
As the number of flows increased for a task, it became important to start nesting information into icons and visual elements. Scheduling apps tend to be detail-heavy and, therefore, depend on structure.

USER TESTING
The prototype was tested with the target audience. After observing the patterns, habits, and actions our key takeaways were designing for visual language, privacy, customization and video communication.

VISUAL STYLE
Designed a structural grid system, followed by a warm pastel color palette. We chose to pair a serif and sans-serif typeface where certain elements are highlighted to convey importance and hierarchy.

KEY FEATURES
The app analyzes your friend's schedules and matches it with yours. It generates recommendations for the best times to meet. Schedules are placed next to each other and are given hierarchy through color.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Easy Grid is an app that combines productivity and social media. The “crossing paths” feature notifies users when they are in close proximity with another user.
