I began contracting with for the Gospel Library app in April 2023 and one of the first projects they asked me to do was to reimagine the home screen. My task was to come up with a redesign that would be more engaging, more useful, and more beautiful.

Over the course of the next several months (only working about 15 hours a month) I created a comprehensive set of mockups that spanned both iOS and Android and included designs for phone and tablet (portrait and landscape). Light and dark modes were also designed.

The Home Screen consists of multiple sections of content, and designs were needed for each:

This is content that the Church features from time to time. Content ranges from upcoming events and announcements to past addresses given by leaders of the Church.

Members who are signed into their accounts will see the hymns their specific congregations are planning to sing in sacrament meeting. This specific section is only visible on Sundays.

This section only shows when the current user is not signed it. Its intent is to help remind people that they are not signed in and to help them understand the added benefits and features available to signed in individuals.

These sections are there to help people quickly find the content they care about.

Each week the entire membership of the Church is assigned to study the same block of scriptures. The purpose of this section is to make it simple to know what scriptures are being studied in the current week. So, this section updates weekly.

This was one of the first parts of the design that I was asked to approach. Prior to this redesign, these items were extremely bland.

A study plan is essentially a list of content that can be checked off as the user studies it, and it comes with the ability to schedule and set notifications. This updated visual for a person's active study plans is a horizontally scrolling list of cards like these, each showing it's respective progress bar.

Every section of the Home Screen needed a redesign to form a cohesive experience. Lessons, Tip of the Week, Patriarchal Blessings, Study Tools, Daily Study Streaks, and Callings all needed various levels of love.

Not much to this prototype, but it will help you see how all of these design came together for the new and improved Home Screen.
