Paws for Patients
Paws for Patients is a new mobile app that helps therapy animal handlers navigate hospitals easily, allowing them to visit patients who request time with a therapy animal.
Working closely with the Founder/Developer I currently am in the process of rolling out the MVP version of the app.

THE CHALLENGE
Therapy animal volunteers devote their time to providing patients with animal companionship. Without guidance, they search the hospital for patients interested in their service, making the process lengthy and chaotic. Hospital admins feel the same way and need a simple way to communicate with volunteers.

RESEARCH
The founder of PAWS is a therapy animal volunteer and a developer. With his knowledge and involvement in the therapy animal handler community, I ran brainstorming sessions that allowed us to identify key pain points, possible user flows, and reveal key insights for us to leverage.

WIREFRAMING
To validate the user flow and the solutions for pain points that we discovered during brainstorming, I created a simple prototype that would visually communicate the ideas we had during brainstorming.

WAG: A DESIGN SYSTEM
Starting from scratch, I had the chance to create a completely scalable design system that served as the definitive guide for design and engineering. Constructed to be scalable, it perfectly positions PAWS and the design system for growth.
