Problem Statement
Many people struggle to express themselves confidently despite having valuable thoughts and ideas. TheConfidento seeks to solve this by helping users build public speaking abilities and social confidence through structured learning, practice tracking, and motivation tools.
User Research
To understand the target audience, I conducted:
Informal interviews with 10 potential users (college students, job seekers, new managers)
Pain point analysis
which revealed:
Fear of judgment or blanking out
Lack of daily motivation or tracking
High drop-off after initial enthusiasm
Design Goals
Create an intuitive onboarding flow for motivation
Design bite-sized, gamified learning modules
Enable daily learning tracking and streaks
Offer expert-led content in a course format
Provide flexible light & dark mode experiences
Key Features Designed
1. Personalized Dashboard (Home Screen)
Highlights daily progress, learning goals, and course recommendations with cheerful illustrations and a modular layout.
2. Learning Plan & Course Detail
Courses are broken into short, trackable segments. Users can see mentors, pricing, lesson structure, and purchase options in a clean, scannable interface.
3. Clock-In Motivation Pop-Up
After each session, a motivational summary encourages consistency. It includes a weekly visual tracker and share option to promote engagement.
4. My Courses + Progress Bars
Segmented by completed lessons, the interface gives a clear sense of growth. Color-coded tiles indicate course themes and progress.
5. Profile & Settings
Minimalist design allowing personalization and privacy control. Designed for clarity with visual hierarchy and icon affordance.
6. Course Playback View
Intuitive media player integrated with content preview. Seamless transitions between watching and navigating other parts of the app.
7. Search & Filter Interface
Optimized for user intent with tag-based filtering, fuzzy search, and course previews with pricing and duration.
Dark Mode Consideration
Understanding that learning often occurs in dim lighting (especially late at night), I designed a dark mode using:
Contrast ratios > 4.5:1 for readability
Soft, desaturated backgrounds to reduce eye strain
Highlight colors (blues, purples) retained across both modes for brand consistency
Design System
Typography: Rounded, accessible sans-serif for a friendly tone
Colors: Youthful and optimistic with high contrast
Components: Reusable UI kit built in Figma with auto layout
Outcome & Next Steps
Usability testing with first batch of learners is planned via Maze
Explore AI-powered speech feedback for future phases
Potential for community-based peer review in upcoming versions
Reflection
This project pushed me to think beyond UI aesthetics and dive deep into user psychology. Balancing motivation, clarity, and accessibility was key. I also enjoyed the challenge of making the experience equally delightful in both light and dark modes. It showcased my strengths in building polished, scalable, and user-centered design solutions.
