Challenge & solution
The challenge is to declutter the app's overcomplicated UX, which is fueled by unstandardized stakeholder demands, and strengthen LG's brand. The solution is a user-focused redesign that streamlines features and enhances brand elements.
Showcasing the 5 key areas of feature usage
Leading a team of 3, I conducted in-depth research on 3 user groups, analyzing their interactions with smart appliances and the app. We extracted usage patterns and insights, which informed our UX/UI strategy and concept for LG ThinQ.
Navigation and UX/UI, informed by user insights, streamlined the smart home experience.
The navigation is structured in three parts, and implemented modular and card UI for improved visibility and ease of use across all sections.
• Center: Appliance operation and monitoring overview
• Left: Smart appliances, app info, and lifestyle tips
• Right: Usage history for appliances and app
