The work presented here is a project I completed as a freelance designer for a client. I want to assure you that I take client confidentiality seriously and respect the terms of our agreement. I have received explicit permission from my client to showcase this project in my portfolio as an example of my work.

Project Overview

Bunu is a mobile app that connects skilled artisans in Nigeria with clients who are nearby. These artisans will provide services like plumbing, electrical engineering, auto mechanics, etc. The common artisans in Nigerian states are anticipated to be listed in this app's database.

Problem Statement

The challenge with existing artisan service apps is the lack of efficient user-artisan connections. Users struggle to discover skilled artisans nearby, leading to delayed service requests. Our goal is to create an artisan app that streamlines these connections, making it easier for users to find and hire local artisans promptly.

Target Audience

The age group for both users and artisans can vary widely, but it's typically within the range of 18 to 65+ years. People of various ages may require artisan services, and artisans themselves can range from younger individuals to experienced professionals. I made it essential to ensure that the app's user interface and user experience cater to a broad age demographic by considering usability and accessibility for all potential users.

The target audience for your artisan mobile app would likely include:

1. Users Seeking Artisan Services: These are individuals or businesses in need of various services such as plumbing, electrical work, carpentry, painting, etc.
2. Artisans and Service Providers: This group comprises the artisans themselves who offer their skills and services through the app.

Task Flow

The task flow guides users through the process of discovering, hiring, and reviewing artisans using your mobile app, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience.

The goal of the on-boarding is to guide the users through a seamless journey to set up their profiles and start connecting with local artisans effortlessly.

Sign Up Process

This is is the first impression of our app. We want it to reflect what we stand for: The minimalistic, clean and fresh aesthetic.

We allowed quick sign up from Facebook and Twitter as they don’t really need to fill up the same information. Based on feedback from friends, I brought in email sign ups as well, but I kept it secondary.

Color Palette

Designing a beautiful interface is as important as designing the best flow. We wanted to keep the entire design minimal, clean, and fresh.
We knew we needed blue in our primary palette. not just because we all liked blue. The colour helps in improving the flow of communication and we believe it is really important for us, as we are placing our self as the premier application for sourcing artisans.
The next step was to find out the best and unique blue. It should represent our brand, Bunu. It should also be different from Facebook, Twitter and any other app colours.

In conclusion, Bunu mobile app is the result of a dedicated team's effort to bridge the gap between users and skilled artisans. By focusing on user-friendly design, efficient communication, and a streamlined review process, we aim to enhance the experience for both those seeking services and the artisans offering them. The goal is to create a community that values transparency, trust, and quality service. I'm excited about the future of this platform and look forward to continually improving it based on user feedback and evolving needs. I built a reliable solution that connects users with artisans, making service discovery and hiring hassle-free.

Thank You!
