DOT IT

Overview

Planta is a mobile app designed to help users discover, purchase, and care for plants with confidence. The goal was to create a calm, natural shopping experience that reflects the soothing nature of plants themselves. The design approach focuses on simplicity, clarity, and gentle colors that make the interface feel warm and approachable.

User Experience Approach

The interface is designed to stay out of the way and let the plants be the visual focus. Core experience decisions included:
Soft and natural green-based color palette
Minimal typography to maintain visual calmness
Clear product organization by Indoor / Outdoor / New
Easy checkout flow without distractions
Simple plant-care information displayed in expandable sections
This helps users feel confident choosing the right plants for their home and lifestyle.

Key Screens

1. Home Screen
Introduces featured plants and recommended items with large, bright plant photography that makes browsing feel natural and enjoyable.
2. Product Browse
Users can filter plants by category (Indoor, Outdoor, New) and compare key attributes easily.
3. Equipment Store
A dedicated section for pots, tools, and care accessories ensures everything needed is available in one place.
The overall layout prioritizes clarity, space, and ease of browsing, similar to modern lifestyle retail experiences.

Design System & Components

The UI system was built for scalability and visual consistency, including:
Color tokens built around greens and neutrals
Reusable card components for plant and product listings
Button and form variations for checkout flows
A bottom navigation bar optimized for one-hand use
This system ensures the app can expand into more plant types, guides, or community features in the future.
