Project Overview
Addressing the challenge of accumulating children's items, the Kids Care platform aims to connect families with excess essentials to those in need. As children grow, once-essential belongings become redundant, and many parents are unsure of what to do with them. At the same time, charity institutions often lack the necessary resources to fully support children in vulnerable situations.
To tackle this, Kids Care serves two main purposes: helping families in need and enabling those with surplus items to donate them effectively.
As the sole designer, I led the project from initial user research and insights to crafting user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and final designs. This experience not only honed my skills in UX/UI design but also in product design, ensuring that the platform is inclusive, user-friendly, and impactful in meeting a broader range of needs.
