Utilizing Axure, this is a comprehensive UX-UI Desktop redesign I recently completed with ABCmouse.com. The challenge was to utilize the negative space without alienating the current user based (in the millions).

Utilizing Axure, ABCmouse did not have a tablet version of their application & I designed an entirely new UX-UI for their upcoming tablet version. As you can see, there are many familiar components within the constrained space.

I paved the way in creating a new UX-UI design form for ABCmouse's upcoming mobile application. As you can tell, I only utilize components that were of utmost importance based on the limited real estate for mobile phones. You can guess which wireframing tool I used here - Axure.

In this highly detailed, low fidelity wireframe, I show the important key metrics in a horizontal manner: calories consumed, types of food, & calories burned. The graph for types of food would show which types of food that has been consumed the highest during the day, week, mont, quarterly, & annually. The navbar is clear, concise, & easily navigatable. The calendar provides easy access to view which days the customer is interested in viewing/reviewing. Recent articles target user's interest.

Mobile version of the previous example. Here I show how the important key metrics would render in mobile.

While the previous FDFL1 desktop & mobile iteration provided minimalist information, here I show as much possible information in an asymmetrical layout. Calories consumed would show for the day, week, month, quarterly, & annually. The same viewable option is available for all metrics. A new feature called timeline would show accomplishments, motivations, aspirations, & anything that's fitting for the food log. It could provide suggestions for the user.

A similar rendition of the previous example but the Sidebar is switched to show possible iterations.
