What and why
What
Plant-ish offers the ability to log in for those that desire an authenticated experience. They can revisit their self-curated, personalized list of plants. They can even add and keep track of plants that they already own.
You can add, edit, browse, and plant — whatever your green thumb desires.
Why
Plant-ish was born with plant lovers in mind. It was envisioned as a comprehensive solution to enrich the plant browsing experience, streamline plant care management, and contribute to botanical awareness — all through a platform designed with user experience at its core.

The design system
This design system aids in the reinforcement of the Plant-ish brand identity by defining and standardizing visual elements such as colors, typography, and imagery.
I created many of these components (i.e., plant cards) early on in the design exploration and prototyping phase, making the process of creating new designs highly efficient and consistent later on. Additionally, with design systems being the central source of truth, I wanted to ensure design language consistency.

A collector's item inventory catalog? Sure! You can add, edit, browse, and plant — whatever your green thumb desires.

My role
On a team of four, I was the lead UX / UI designer for Plant-ish. We were tasked with creating a full-stack website that utilized React and a backend database.
When the team determined our naming and theme, I took to Figma to quickly design mockups and create prototypes that the developers could take and then create the backend of the website. Handing the designs off was seamless as I properly laid out the user-journey and created thorough designs that met all project requirements.
After handing the Figma designs off, I was responsible for various phases of the frontend portion of the website. Indicating to the group that HTML and CSS were my strongest areas, aside from Figma, I helped to ensure that the frontend properly reflected the mockups.
