ROVA SELFIE DRONE

The Challenge
The iOT Group was weeks away from launching their new drone, ROVA, to retailers internationally. They needed to:
- Create the drone app for Android & iOS from scratch
- Redesign the website for ecommerce.
The Result
As the UX lead and creative director in collaboration with Sidebench – we delivered the redesigned experience for the app in 2 days and the website in 1 week.

The soon-to-be-released upgraded flight interface has had a very positive response from our test users, who say that the app design is clean and simple. They find it easy to use and understand.

Understand & Define
ROVA’s target market was modern tech and selfie lovers, but even nondrone enthusiasts should be able to learn how to use the app easily.
We were handed 3 advanced prototypes of ROVA and its bare-bones app developed by hardware manufacturers in China.
After delegating out the taskflows, I set out to define the main controller experience, Kyleigh started on onboarding instructions, and Geoff began developing the visual design.
Ideate
I drew inspiration from the few competitiors on the market – and found that most catered towards a militiristic style and had distracting elements that obscured the view.
My focus was on these principles:
- Give the user complete focus when flying
- Only use visual alerts for crucial, time-sensitive actions
- Simplify and condense the UI to remove distractions
- Test out the thumb actions on every screen

Prototype & Test
In 2 days, we completely overhauled the UX and UI for the app.
In 1 week, we designed the responsive ecommerce web experience.
