Problem Statement
User Testing
“What information should I expect when tapping into the app from the notification?” These observations highlighted a gap in the clarity and urgency of the interaction design, especially around critical weather events.
In response, I prioritized these concerns in the high-fidelity stage, focusing on how visual design could better drive immediacy. This included refining color pairings to signal severity levels more effectively, enhancing micro-interactions to guide user focus, and structuring content hierarchies so that essential context appeared instantly upon entry. The goal was to ensure that the notification felt not only actionable but necessary — prompting timely user response.
