QuickRead A.I Mobile App and Brand Design

An AI-powered mobile app that helps users read, summarize, and interact with PDFs effortlessly.

QuickRead is a mobile app that uses AI to make reading and understanding long PDF documents easier. Whether it’s a 100-page eBook or a dense business report, QuickRead scans the file, summarizes key points, allows users to ask context-specific questions, and even offers audio playback for on-the-go learning. Designed with students, techies, and business owners in mind, QuickRead turns static documents into interactive learning experiences.

UX/UI Designer & Brand Designer I led the design of both the mobile experience and the brand identity, from ideation and wireframes to visual direction and high-fidelity prototypes in Figma.

Reading lengthy PDFs is time-consuming, especially when you're trying to find one specific insight or takeaway. Traditional PDF readers are passive; users have to scroll endlessly, skim through pages, and mentally extract meaning. There’s no intelligent help.

QuickRead makes PDFs interactive. Users can:

Instantly summarize entire documents or selected pages

Ask specific questions about the content ("What does section 3 mean?")

Listen to audio summaries

Save and bookmark key insights for later

Students who need to study smarter, not harder

Techies & developers who review documentation and whitepapers

Entrepreneurs & business owners who read contracts, reports, and market research

Figma – UI design and prototyping

FigJam – User flows, journey maps, and wireframe sketches

1. Research & Strategy

Mapped user pain points around reading efficiency, focus, and navigation

Identified a common theme: "I don’t want to read everything, I just need the point"

2. User Flows & Wireframes

Designed clean flows for document upload, summary generation, Q&A interaction, and playback

Prioritized accessibility: large tap zones, simple icons, minimal cognitive load

4. Brand Design

Crafted a visual identity representing speed, clarity, and intelligence

Defined the brand color palette (soft blue + grayscale), typography, and logo mark representing "fast learning"

5. Prototyping & Testing

Created clickable Figma prototypes to test with users

Collected feedback around navigation simplicity and AI response placement

📄 Smart Summaries – Instantly distill lengthy documents

🤖 Ask Your PDF – Use natural language to query document content

🎧 Audio Playback – Listen to summaries and sections

🔖 Bookmarks – Save quotes, paragraphs, and definitions for later

⏳ Read Later Mode – Queue important docs and track reading progress

AI Complexity vs UX Simplicity: Simplifying the AI-powered experience for non-technical users

Content Overload: Prioritizing hierarchy and visual spacing for dense information

Voice vs Text Mode: Balancing screen design between active reading and passive listening

QuickRead's design was met with positive feedback from early testers and stakeholders, who appreciated its “study-buddy” feel and intuitive Q&A feature. The UI is now in the MVP development phase with strong interest from student communities and productivity users.

QuickRead reimagines how we consume written content. As the designer, I was excited to shape not just an app interface but a tool that helps people save time and learn better. Designing a product where AI meets human clarity pushed me to think deeply about both utility and empathy in mobile experiences.
