Overview - AccountaBuddy is an iphone application. It's purpose is to to make it easier to live the healthy, balanced life its user craves. This project includes, interface design, prototyping of the app, and branding of the icon.

Challenge - The challenge of this project was to choose a user that was different from me and design an iphone application for them based on user research and usability testing.

Solution -  The solution to creating this application was to come up with an app that supplements the want to have a healthy life. The name AccountaBuddy was chosen because the application, based on the setup of a user profile, assigns an accountability partner to keep the user in check with the goals the she sets for herself.

The look and feel was meant to be soothing and motivating. Starting from the beginning, there is an extensive directive process that helps the user understand what the app can do for them. It tells the user, page by page, what each section is for, accompanied by a "buddy," (the AccountaBuddy icon). 

In the app, the user is able to keep track of local and national feeds of AccountaBuddies and what they're posting. They can sort through posts by specific goals they want to achieve, they can create their own goals section where they receive tips on how to reach those goals. The user can message their accountabuddy directly and discuss their highs and lows of the week. The application lets the user create a calendar with personal notes and goals and lets them check off the goals once they feel like they've achieved them.
