Oasis App: Water Pollution & Detection

Project Brief UI/UX App Design ︎ 2023

Michigan has a huge water pollution problem. Too many people in Detroit don't have safe drinking water or don't know what they are drinking and how it could affect their health in the long run. We want to help end this issue, starting right from residents' homes. My team aimed to increase the amount of transparency that residents have about the content of their water, eliminating the need to rely on legislatures for accurate information.

I worked on this project in collaboration with two of my design colleagues Riley Hamady & Izzy Shargabian

The Goal︎

Our goal was to give people the power to understand what it is they are drinking, without the interference of governmental entitites. We wanted to develop a way for someone to get all of the information needed about their water, including possible contaminants and chemical in a simple, easy-to-understand format. Removing this barrier would be the catalyst for change, putting transperency back into people’s hands.

The Concept︎

We wanted to design an app that accompanies a system of 5 devices that allow for you to analyze the chemicals and pollutants in your water. Our system of Drop, Tap, Sip, Carry, and Pipe let you know exactly what's in your water and if it's safe to drink. We also wanted to provide educational materials that give lower to middle-class residents of Detroit the power and transparency they otherwise wouldn't have.

What I Learned︎

This project taught me the intricate nature of keeping a brand identity consistent. Additonally, it made me more invested in the journey of creating a journey for an app that was intuitive. I never realized the thourghness that an app has to be designed with to ensure that people can navigate it without too many questions. Lastly, this taught me how to design with target audience in mind throughout the process
