Pet care apps tend to pile features on top of each other. The brief started from the opposite direction: a small set of daily actions, designed properly, that could grow later.

Design a product that feels warm and personal while remaining fast to use — often one-handed, outdoors, in a hurry.

• Keep the core daily actions within a couple of taps.
• Make progress and history readable at a glance.
• Create an interface that stays calm as data accumulates.
• Define a visual system that scales to future features.

I mapped the day in the life of an owner: the quick check before a walk, the log afterwards, and the occasional deeper look at history. Each moment became a flow, then a screen.

Primary actions were kept on one level, with detail pushed to secondary screens so the app never feels heavy.

Four top-level areas, with everything else nested:

• Today — the daily actions and what needs attention
• Activity — walks, routines and history
• Health — notes, records and reminders
• Profile — the pet and the account

Wireframes were kept deliberately rough to test structure and tap targets before visual design — particularly the balance between logging quickly and reading detail.

The interface uses soft surfaces, generous spacing and large touch targets, with a restrained blue accent for state and action. Data is shown as simple timelines rather than dense charts.

A compact system of type scale, colour, spacing, cards and iconography, built to extend as the product grows.

An interactive Figma prototype covered the main flows: log a walk, review the week, add a health note.

A complete app design concept: flows, screens, components and an interactive prototype ready to be taken into build.
