Process
We used a user-centered design approach, starting with interviews and surveys to identify wardrobe pain points like decision fatigue and underused clothing. After analyzing existing solutions, we sketched ideas and built Figma wireframes featuring weather-based outfit suggestions and a digital closet.
I contributed to research, wireframing, documentation, and led the design system, shaping the app’s visual identity and ensuring consistency. I also supported prototyping and the final presentation.
The final prototype combined a mobile app and an Arduino/AR-powered smart mirror, refined through user testing for usability, safety, and clarity.
Final Design
Mira: Smart Wardrobe Assistant is a smart wardrobe system designed to simplify daily outfit planning while promoting sustainability and self-expression. Mira addressed the everyday challenge of choosing outfits by combining research-driven insights, wireframing, and user testing to create a seamless, user-centered experience. The experience integrates these components:
Mobile App – Upload clothing items, get personalized outfit suggestions based on weather and calendar events, and plan looks in advance.
Smart Mirror – An AR-powered mirror that projects virtual outfits onto the user’s reflection, with LED lighting that reflects real-time temperature (red = warm, white = mild, blue = cold) via Arduino.
Two additional features we came up with for "next steps" were:
AI + ML – Learns user preferences to generate tailored outfit combinations from their existing wardrobe.
IoT Connectivity – Syncs mirror and app through Wi-Fi and APIs like OpenWeather for real-time recommendations.
The final solution integrates digital and physical components to help users plan outfits more efficiently, reduce decision fatigue, and make more sustainable fashion choices.

Personal Reflection
Team collaboration and early research were key, enabling us to align quickly and create meaningful features. My work on the design system and documentation clarified our visual direction and communicated the concept effectively.
Challenges included narrowing scope, integrating hardware, and organizing clothing data. Next time, we’d prototype earlier, validate with additional interviews, and finalize hardware sooner to better link the digital and physical experiences.
