SelfCare

Selfcare logo and iOS icon designs

T This was the first health related project I ever worked on. The original idea came from my sister when she was working Hospital rotations in pharmacy school. She told me about how most people have no idea what to do when they are sick and how great it would be to have an app that people could use to help understand what was wrong.


Screenshots of app funcitonality and UX

She started creating mockups for how it would work and I thought I could help out. I had worked on some projects in the music space that had cool ways for people to search for music. Rather than selecting from a drop down list sorted in alphabetical order, they were more emotionally driven and exciting to use.

Character development for conditions

I threw together some ideas for a new UX that was much simpler and more engaging than all the other lame healthcare apps. I created a character that would represent what the symptoms were the user was experiencing.

Icon designs

Most people didn’t necessarily need an animated version of their condition, but we found that people loved having the character. It gave the app an emotion. It was something they could relate to. People loved scrolling through the different symptoms and seeing the guy change.

RxCheckup and Shift Work Acadey logo designs

We launched it to the App Store and started working on more apps. The next one was to check if a drug was on your formulary. We also built a dosing tool for medications. For all of these projects I needed to create all of the UI elements from scratch. It was my first time working with iOS and each button had to be custom built. I worked on icons, color pallets, and buttons. Once we put them all together it was a refreshing look to the traditionally boring healthcare design.

Character development for RxCheckup

In addition to the apps, I built several websites that hosted educational content for users with specific conditions. I would make engaging animations that helped people better understand their conditions and the most effective ways to treat them.

Motion graphics for Shift Work educational content

I experimented with motion graphics a lot more and found them to be a lot more exciting than static designs alone. These would all become precursors to the future company ExCollectives.
