Lace Up!

Project Summary

Lace Up! is an application that helps young children learn how to tie their shoelaces themselves. It encourages these kids to learn independently while providing visual aid, making it easy for them to grasp the concept of tying their laces. While their main goal is to motivate young children to persevere in learning something new, it also aims to serve as a way for busy parents and older generations of caretakers, who struggle to teach these children themselves due to lack of time and knowledge in explaining properly, to teach their kids.

The Process

For this small project, I wanted to create a kid-friendly app that would be educational and motivation for children learning how to tie their own laces. I wanted to keep the application interface simple and incorporate bright, cheerful colours, keeping the sentence structures and headings straightforward for children to understand.

I started off the project by identifying my user personas and creating user journeys, task flows and empathy maps for them. Over the course of a few weeks, I then created some mock-ups and conducted user testing sessions on my target demographic to gather feedback on how to improve my prototype.
