Hey there, fellow health tech enthusiasts! Welcome back to my 30-day journey of building Khayr, an AI-driven health app that’s not just functional but also personal. Today’s focus was on something close to my heart: giving Khayr a soul through its story and visual identity.
If you’re wondering what that means, think of it this way: Khayr isn’t just an app—it’s a companion. And every great companion needs a personality that draws you in, keeps you engaged, and makes you feel understood.
Why Story and Visual Identity Matter
Design isn’t just about making things look good (although, trust me, Khayr looks amazing!). It’s about creating a connection—a bridge between users and the app. With Khayr, I want every interaction to feel personal, like it was crafted just for you.
Imagine this: You open the app, and it feels like a friend guiding you towards better health. That’s the power of a strong story and a cohesive visual identity.
What I Worked On Today
1. Creating Engaging Story Templates
These templates are the heart of how Khayr communicates with users. I focused on creating:
- Feedback Stories: Showcasing user experiences in vibrant, relatable designs.
- Health Tips: Making expert advice easy to digest and actionable.
- Success Stories: Inspiring others with real-life journeys of better health.
These templates aren’t just beautiful—they’re purposeful. They make Khayr approachable and engaging while keeping the user experience seamless.
2. Consistency in Branding
A consistent design ensures Khayr stands out while remaining easy to use. From the color palette to typography, every detail aligns with the app’s mission of being a trusted health companion. The aim is to evoke feelings of care, reliability, and warmth.
3. Building an Emotional Connection
Through thoughtful storytelling and relatable visuals, Khayr’s design is meant to feel like more than an app—it’s your health ally. Every interaction is designed to encourage trust and engagement, making the user experience seamless and memorable.
What’s Next?
Tomorrow, I’ll finalize the health assessment module frontend and start testing all the new components. It’s time to see how everything comes together for a smooth, delightful user experience.
