Brief and Background
The Nappy - Sleeping App redesign project aimed to enhance the visual design quality of three selected UI screens from the original project completed in the previous semester. Focused on applying design skills acquired during the course, the goal was to improve the aesthetics and usability of the app's graphical user interface (GUI) to create a more visually appealing and user-friendly experience. Notably, all illustrations for the app were personally created and drawn using Procreate.
