Pulse by Fierce

Pulse is a productivity app built around the premise of using biometrics to track a users stress level and help them identify and resolve the causes of their stress.

Role: Sole Designer and UX Researcher

📍 Where it Started:

  • Existing product with inconsistent and unintuitive UI.

  • Need to develop new features to attract and retain users.

  • No baseline of user research.

🏆 The Results:

  • V1 of the app refresh has seen an increase in user retention and app session length.

  • Ads featuring new mascot Mokita outperformed other ads.

  • Data driven decisions based on user interviews and real app sessions.

⚡ What Changed?

  • When I joined, the first directive was to give the existing app a total refresh while keeping the branding aligned with existing Fierce brand guides.

  • Reimagined the home page to highlight important information and establish a foundation for future features.

  • Introduction of new app mascot to deepen the app identity and connect with users.

  • Design of new features including an AI chatbot, Coaching sessions and integrated calendar events.
