My Dear Friend - Web site

Open your heart and your home to a pet who needs your help, adopt and they will be showing their appreciation to you for the rest of their lives!

Project Overview

We seek to generate a website that would allow users to easily and safely search for a pet in adoption, as well as provide the option to search a new home for pets that can no longer live with their owners.

My Contributions

As a UX Designer I built the web site, and kept working on it through multiple iterations.
The project has a length of 3 months and the target audience is young adults between the ages of 25 and 35 who are actively working and have a family of their own.

The challenge

There is no platform that facilitates the process of adopting a pet and that provides some security of who are the people who adopt or give the animals for adoption and there is no way for people, shelters or veterinarians to find a home for the animals.

The solution

Have a platform where people interested in adopting animals or put in adoption animals can contact the people interested in a simple, safe way while ensuring who the people involved are. As an addition, it also seeks to provide tips on animal care and a store of articles for animals.

Research and Study

My research was based on interviews where the intention was to understand how people looked for adoption options and what their experience had been when doing it. Some of the ideas that we already had in mind was that people were searching social media for posts to adopt or were only adopting from known people. These assumptions turned out to be true since out of 5 interviewees only 1 person adopted from a totally unknown person. 

Design, concepts, protoypes & takeaways

I designed all the web site of My Dear Friend. We generated new visuals, photos, and all content for the site. We use the help of pet owners to generate most of the content that involves pets. As all my projects we went through all the phases of the design project, from user research, to wireframes, UI design and prototypes. I have to varying capacities, worked on all the elements used on My Dear Friend web site.
