INTRODUCTION
THE CHALLENGE
Family caregivers are often overwhelmed managing the health, finances, and daily needs of aging loved ones, leading to emotional and physical strain.
INTRODUCTION
MAIN OBJECTIVE
CuroNow is a smart app that helps caregivers organize, track, and manage care tasks in a secure, streamlined way.
My focus was to design a transportation feature that allows caregivers to safely book rides with a trusted network of drivers.

AFFINITY DIAGRAM
We interviewed key stakeholders to better understand the challenges caregivers face and how CuroNow could support them. These conversations clarified the app’s purpose and helped us prioritize features.
We synthesized key themes and insights into an affinity diagram to guide our design decisions.
IDEATE
HYPOTHESIS & HOW MIGHT WE STATEMENTS
We crafted hypotheses and 'How Might We' statements to explore solutions that address key user needs and challenges.
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
UPDATED STRUCTURE
Following ideation, we identified key screens to design and developed an information architecture to clarify how they fit within the app’s existing structure.
LOW FIDELITY PROTOTYPES
WIREFRAMING
I created sketched wireframes to visualize initial design concepts, focusing on user flow and layout to effectively address caregiver needs.
TEST
STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK
We shared our low-fidelity prototypes with stakeholders, gathered additional feedback, and iterated to produce the final design.

FINAL MOCKUPS
The final mockups incorporated stakeholder feedback and are ready for future usability testing.
REFLECTION
FINAL THOUGHTS
Working on CuroNow deepened my understanding of the complex challenges caregivers face and the importance of designing tools that are both intuitive and supportive.
This project reinforced the value of stakeholder collaboration, iterative design, and empathy-driven research. By grounding our solutions in real user needs, we were able to design features that not only address logistical tasks, like transportation and meal planning, but also help reduce caregiver stress.
I’m proud of the thoughtful design process we followed and excited to see how future testing can further refine and expand this work.
How might we help caregivers more efficiently mange their time?
