My Role & Collaboration

Carb Manager aimed to completely redesign their app by reimagining the UI, improving the UX, and adding new features. As the sole Lead Product Designer, I led the project from initial design and UX to development handoff, animations, and launch. Carb Manager is a complex app with hundreds of customizations, settings, food/recipe databases, meal planners, and analytics.

Overview

I began with Carb Manager’s previous app, which, while successful, was outdated in design and functionality. I worked with the team to identify user needs, frustrations, and new features to enhance the overall experience, aiming to improve both the UI and branding.
