Tailor Me App — helping tailors grow their business
Role: Solo end-to-end Product DesignTimeline: December 2022 – March 2023 (14 weeks)Background:Professional tailors and owners of small tailor shops need a way to manage their tailoring tasks, work schedules and sales, offer better service to their customers and create more business opportunities.I conceptualized and designed Tailor Me App. It's made for professionals who know a lot about their trade, but who don’t necessarily have the time to do any admin work, and are unfamiliar with best practices of customer relations.
Deliver and get paid
Tailor Me was designed to unchoke the user’s usual workflow: orders flowing out, payment flowing in. The user can get their items delivered and paid for without delays. This was the main user pain point discovered with research, and therefore the biggest deliver on the App value proposition.
“Goals, not features.”
All the insights
Easy-to-read charts by category and other data visuals assist users to comprehend their sales data, and give them actionable insights on some sales trends to help inform business-related decisions.
Helpful flows
A dashboard-style Home screen allows the user to gain an overall view of what is most relevant to them (such as their sales stats and orders) and have direct access to the most important flows: registering sales and accessing sales insights.
Easy organizing
Organizing and prioritizing jobs is easier with a calendar view that shows upcoming deadlines, as well as a quick-view to-do list to add tasks, quickly review the list, and cross things off.
Note: the wildest part of building a passion project from start to finish is getting to make branding decisions on the spot. So, I figured out the visuals of the App as I built the UI – knowing full well I would change it a few hundred times before the end of the project. The human illustrations are by the talented Copenicker made available on Blush. I used Google’s Material Design resources for commonly used iconography and, to make sure the product stays accessible, I ran some decisions on color/contrast and legibility by WCAG guidelines.
