2026 Gamified UX Finals

Iterations:
Based on feedback on my project, I added more depth to the gamification elements, including refining the types of tokens earned and how they are earned, adding progressive levels, and exploring ways the experience can continue to encourage users through variable rewards, such as milestones and badges earned through consistency streaks.

Based on user testing of my lo-fi prototype, I improved the clarity and overall flow by simplifying the home screen, adding a confirmation step after feeling selection, redesigning the prompts, reward, and team pages, clarifying token feedback, and refining copy and visual hierarchy.

• Feature Refinement:
  Adjusted gamification elements to better balance engagement with usability after feedback indicated potential overwhelm.

• Clarity of Purpose:
  Strengthened messaging and value proposition to ensure users clearly understand the benefit of the experience.

• Prototype Enhancements:
  Improved interactivity and realism in the Figma prototype to better reflect a real-world product experience.
