Other platforms offer space for managing tasks, but Lavender fills the gap by centralizing everything in one place. It's the ideal solution for busy people who need to manage their work without constantly switching between apps.

To craft the identity for Lavender, I asked myself, "What does it feel like to be truly productive?" The answer is a feeling of tranquility and peace—that serene sensation you get when you've accomplished everything on your list. This feeling of bliss is what I wanted to capture in the brand.

The name and color palette were chosen to reflect that soft, rewarding feeling of a day well spent. The Lavender logo is designed to be friendly and approachable, embodying the satisfaction and relief of a productive day. It's more than just a logo; it's a visual representation of that rewarding feeling of "I actually did it today."

The ecosystem is built around how your actions connect to the entire platform. Whether you're using a wearable device or your desktop computer, every interaction fuels the system that ultimately benefits the user. When you start a study session, Lavender analyzes your activity to provide personalized tips and insights into your habits.

Instead of just logging numbers, your inputs—like marking tasks as complete and tracking your study time—helps Lavender analyze your progress and find ways to boost your productivity. Lavender is designed to turn your simple actions into powerful insights, helping you get more done and improve over time. As well as, keeping your interactions light across multiple devices so that you can keep focus.

Through researching user habits, I found that many people are reluctant to record their work, as it feels like an extra layer of friction that gets in the way of actually getting things done. This core insight heavily influenced the information architecture and wireframe design for Lavender. The design prioritizes immediacy and minimal effort. The goal was to reduce the number of steps required to start a timer, ensuring that users can begin a session with the fewest possible taps. Given the variables involved in a user simply opening their phone, I made the key features of the app accessible directly from the home screen upon launch.

This means the core functionality—starting a timer and seeing your most important tasks—is always front and center. Deeper levels of the app, like task management and advanced customization, are placed a few layers in. This is based on the insight that users typically handle planning either before or after a focused work session, when they have more time to organize. By structuring the app this way, every interaction, no matter how light, is designed to be meaningful and empowering, helping users gain valuable insights into their habits without getting in the way.

Beyond a simple timer, I wanted to discover other ways to enhance a user's productivity. My research revealed that users need a clear overview of their remaining tasks to truly feel in control. This insight led to a major design decision: creating a centralized task management hub. This feature was crucial for streamlining the user experience and giving people a complete picture of their workload.

By outlining all their work in one place, users can better manage their time and feel more in control of their productivity.Overall, this project taught me the power of using user insights to drive design decisions. It reinforced my belief that every feature, from the smallest interaction to a major platform component, should be built to empower the user.
