JONNY AARONSONMOTION & DESIGN

UX Design

With a passion for creating intuitive and impactful user experiences, I specialize in designing digital products that are both functional and visually engaging.

My approach is rooted in empathy for the user, ensuring each interaction feels seamless and natural. From wireframing to prototyping, I combine creativity and strategy to deliver designs that not only look good but also solve real-world problems.

Take a look at a case study and a few interface design examples below.

SkiPS

SkiPS is a mobile app that helps skiers find their friends at the mountain. The app also allows users to explore the trails maps and terrain of their favorite mountains.

Affinity Map

Among the interviews conducted, what kept coming up was that, for them, skiing is a social activity, and they preferred to ski with companions vs. skiing alone.

Persona: Social Skier. Despite differences in terrain preferences and ability, all users interviewed preferred skiing with friends and family. Goals: enjoy skiing with friends and/or family; helpful information while planning or at the mountain; know the weather and conditions in advance. Frustrations: losing friends or family while skiing; inadequate signage on the mountain; difficulty planning trips in advance; travel and parking can be difficult.

AutoExpreso

An interface design for AutoExpreso, a platform that allows drivers in Puerto Rico to access to their accounts and pay for parking.
This version is a prototype for a kiosk interface to be used as designated stations.
