Mobile UI Redesign & Feature Addition

Pl@ntNet

Pl@ntNet is an app that helps you identify plants with uploaded photo submissions. The app aims to create a database and maps of all verified plant submissions to track the prevalence of each species, advancing ecology and botany research worldwide.

The challenge:

Add a feature to the Pl@ntNet app that will bring them to the level of their competitors along with an overall UI redesign to improve the user experience of cataloging their plants.

My role:

User research, information architecture, sketching, wireframing, prototyping

Collaborated with Lauren Shaw

The Problem

Through an analysis of the features included in 3 other competing plant identification apps, we discovered that Pl@ntNet was lacking the wide range of features that other plant logging apps provide. Pl@ntNet has a unique focus, limiting its features to plant data and categorization.

In order to be competitive with other similar plant identification apps and to contribute to Pl@ntNet’s overall mission to catalog data about different species, they need a way to allow users to submit and identify different types of plant illnesses/diseases.
