Focusing on a home product with a hybrid interface, I designed a planter that allows individuals to monitor and water their plants remotely. Through my conversations with plant owners, plant care can be difficult and many owners struggle to understand the needs of their plants. SensiPot solves these problems!
USER RESEARCH
"I either under-watered them or overwatered them, or maybe they didn't have enough sun. I have no clue, they just died."
1 = Strongly Disagree, 5 = Strongly Agree
MARKET RESEARCH
I researched plant trends and products related to these plant trends, and conducted a competitive audit of different plant applications to inform the UX features and flows.
IDEATION
Based on my ideation around fostering a better emotional connection and easier care routine for plant owners, I decided to focus on a smart planter that would allow individuals to monitor and care for plants on a paired mobile app, even while away from home.

Connect your planter to the mobile application to monitor your plant's soil hydration, temperature, and sunlight, and take notes. Never forget to water your plants again by getting alerts when soil hydration is low and water remotely!
