WanderProfile – Personal Profile & Activity Overview

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.
