Building the "Do More" UI: From Sketch to Vision
When I set out to design the Do More app, my mission was to translate a very specific set of requirements—raw sketches and a clear functional hierarchy—into a high-end, minimalist productivity tool. I wanted to move beyond the typical cluttered task manager and create something that felt both authoritative and inspiring.
Here is how I brought the "Do More" vision to life:

The Aesthetic Foundation
I leaned heavily into a high-contrast dark mode, utilizing a deep black background and crisp white typography. While the brief called for a black-and-white scheme, I made the executive decision to introduce muted accent tones—soft purples and mint greens. I used these sparingly to highlight progress bars and active states, ensuring the interface feels alive rather than static, without sacrificing that clean, "Opal-inspired" sophistication.
The Home Page: Instant Clarity
On the Home page, I focused on immediate orientation. I placed the date selector right at the top with a "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow" pill toggle so the user always knows where they stand. Underneath a daily motivational quote, I dedicated the largest portion of the screen to "Focus Now." This section acts as the app's brain, intelligently merging prioritized long-term goals with immediate to-do items to eliminate decision fatigue.
The Everyday Page: Actionable Structure
For the Everyday page, I followed the brief’s request for a top-heavy calendar. This allows users to see their goal-driven deadlines at a glance. Below that, I reimagined the standard To-Do list. Instead of basic bullet points, I designed rounded-rectangle cards that feel tactile and modern. I also integrated a dedicated "Memories" block, providing a seamless space for the requested journaling feature without cluttering the daily task flow.
The Goals Page: Mapping the Dream
This is the heart of the app. I titled this section "Long-Term Visions" to elevate the stakes. I structured each goal as a comprehensive card where the "Dream" (the long-term goal) sits in bold, prominent text at the top. Underneath, I mapped out the "Steps"—the short-term pathway required to get there. To make these visions feel attainable, I integrated high-quality, atmospheric imagery into each card, turning a simple list into a visual bucket list.

Ultimately, I wanted Do More to feel like a premium digital sanctuary for achievers. By balancing functional constraints with a "human-first" design philosophy, I’ve created a UI that doesn't just track tasks—it architecturally guides users toward their biggest ambitions.
