1. Project Objective:

To craft a visually appealing, informative, and emotionally resonant profile interface that showcases a user's personal identity, income vs spending summary, and travel/activity logs in a simple, elegant format.

2. User-Centered Research & Strategy:

  • Target Users: Digital creatives, travel enthusiasts, freelancers who value personal branding and data visibility.
  • Core Needs Identified:
    • Showcase identity and persona visually.
    • Quickly track earnings and expenditures.
    • Reflect meaningful life activities (trips, projects, cities visited).

3. Wireframing & Structure:

  • Hierarchy Planning: User image and bio take prominence to humanize the app. Financial stats follow as key touchpoints, with activities listed below for contextual depth.
  • User Flow Goal: Provide a top-down storytelling feel, starting with identity → key metrics → life highlights.
  • Created low-fidelity wireframes and validated structure through quick tests.

4. Visual Design Approach:

  • Color Palette: Soft gradient background (deep blue to plum) evokes calm and sophistication.
  • Typography: Strong contrast for name and headings; subtle, readable fonts for labels and data.
  • Card Design: Activity cards are clean, well-spaced with icons and dates—optimized for mobile view and thumb scrolling.
  • Used visual storytelling by showing the user’s face, tags (writer, photographer, traveler), and photo-based destinations.
  • Data Blocks (Income & Spendings) use contrasting gradient cards for easy at-a-glance interpretation.

5. Prototype & Iterations:

  • Built a high-fidelity prototype in Figma.
  • Conducted peer feedback sessions—improved visual hierarchy, contrast levels, and image cropping.
  • Ensured responsive design practices and UI consistency.

6. Final Outcome:

  • A stylized personal dashboard that:
    • Builds emotional connection via personalization.
    • Presents financial summary clearly.
    • Logs activities visually with metadata.
  • Ready for expansion: could include filters, journal notes, or photo albums in future.

Hi again Maham 😊

Thanks for sharing your concept and design. The direction you were aiming is clear, and you’ve built a strong storytelling arc that reflects your focus on identity, activity, and financial clarity. That said, I think the execution could be better with some adjustments.

Here are a few observations that could help bring this design to a more polished and consistent level:

  • The top section is impactful, with a strong portrait and role tags that add emotional value. However, the leading dot before “Writer • Photographer • Traveler” feels unnecessary; it suggests something is missing on the left. Removing it would help the line feel more balanced. Also, while the serif typography gives a distinct voice to the user’s name, it does compromise legibility. Since this is a profile view that includes financial information, you might consider a cleaner, more neutral typeface to enhance clarity and usability, especially in contexts that relate to money and data.
  • Visually, the hierarchy prioritises the photo over the monetary summary, which might not align with how users actually value this information. If I’m viewing my own dashboard, I’d expect the financial summary (especially spending) to be more immediately emphasised than my portrait. Consider elevating the income/spending cards either visually or structurally, perhaps by adjusting their position or making them slightly larger.
  • The income and spending cards are nicely styled but seem to use a different shadow treatment compared to the white activity cards below. Because the activity cards have both a visible outline and a soft shadow, they end up feeling like they “float” more than the primary cards above, which can unintentionally suggest reversed importance. A lighter shadow and removal of the outline on the activity cards might make the UI feel more unified.
  • There are some inconsistencies in spacing and alignment across the activity cards. The image on the left sits very close to the edge of the card, while there’s more generous padding on top and bottom. Consider equalising this for better spatial balance. Also, the price value on the far right feels too close to the edge, making the card feel unbalanced or weighted to one side. Pulling it in slightly would help reinforce harmony across the design.
  • On a smaller but important note, the date format (e.g. 03/02/2025) can be ambiguous depending on the user's locale. To avoid confusion between day/month vs. month/day formats, a clearer version like "02 Mar 2025" would make the experience more universally understandable.

This is a solid direction with unique character, just needs a layer of functional clarity and visual refinement to feel fully ready. Good work! ☺️
