Overview
Diskify is a beta-stage desktop application that revolutionizes the way users interact with their storage through intuitive data visualization. The application scans your filesystem and presents your data in a sunburst chart, making it easier to visualize and understand the size and location of files and folders.

During college, I collaborated with my friend, the founder, to create the wireframes for the Diskify application and then shifted focus to designing the startup's website.

Role and Responsibilities
Role and Responsibilities
The challenge was to design an intuitive interface for a complex file management tool that leverages data visualization to simplify the understanding of storage usage.
I took on the role of lead designer for Diskify, contributing to my friend’s startup by creating detailed wireframes for the application. These wireframes laid the groundwork for the interface, focusing on user flow, layout, and the integration of the sunburst chart, which was conceptualized and implemented by my friend.
Following the completion of the wireframes, I was responsible for designing the Diskify website, ensuring it effectively communicated the product’s value and functionality.

Website Design
Design Philosophy:
The Diskify website design was guided by the need to create a user-centered, modern, and engaging platform that effectively communicates the product's value. I employed a dark theme with purple accents to reflect the cutting-edge nature of Diskify, while animations and interactivity were strategically used to enhance user engagement.
Homepage Design:
The hero section features a bold headline and a smooth gradient background, creating immediate visual impact and drawing attention to the call-to-action buttons. The use of subtle animations, such as the glow effect on the Diskify logo and the sliding Windows icon on the "Download the beta" button, adds a dynamic element that encourages user interaction.
The interactive elements, including text and images fading in as the user scrolls, create a seamless experience that gradually introduces content, making the website more engaging.
The logo ticker for "Seamless security, powered by DigiCert" adds credibility by associating Diskify with well-known security brands, while also adding a dynamic touch to a static section.
"How Diskify Works" Section:
This section provides clear visual explanations of Diskify’s features, using screenshots and concise text to ensure users can quickly grasp the benefits. The layout is designed for easy scanning, with bullet points and short paragraphs making the information accessible.
FAQ Page:
The FAQ page uses an accordion design to keep the content organized and easily navigable. Smooth transition animations enhance the user experience, making interactions feel responsive and polished.
EULA Page:
The End User License Agreement page uses bold headings and a clear hierarchy to maintain readability, even with dense legal content. The design remains consistent with the rest of the website, reinforcing the brand identity.
Footer Design:
The footer includes a simple subscription form and quick access to important links, keeping the design minimalistic while providing essential navigation options.

Challenges and Solutions
Challenges and Solutions
Designing wireframes that could effectively guide the development of a complex tool like Diskify was a significant challenge, particularly in ensuring that the interface would be intuitive and user-friendly. Additionally, transitioning to the website design required a shift in focus from internal user experience to external user engagement.
I addressed these challenges by closely collaborating with my friend during the wireframing process to ensure that all necessary functionality was accounted for and that the layout would support the intuitive use of the sunburst chart. For the website, I focused on creating a clear, informative, and visually appealing design that would attract and retain users.

Conclusion
Conclusion
Working on Diskify during college was an invaluable experience that allowed me to apply and expand my design skills in a real-world context. The project taught me the importance of clear communication and collaboration in the design process, as well as the need for adaptability when transitioning between different types of design work.
Moving forward, I am interested in expanding on the website design as Diskify evolves and considering the possibility of creating high-fidelity prototypes for future updates to the application. I also look forward to contributing to Diskify’s expansion to other platforms, such as macOS.
