In today's fast-paced world, staying informed is harder than ever. News is fragmented across dozens of apps, text-heavy, and impossible to consume while commuting, exercising, or cooking. Busy people — especially urban commuters — are left choosing between staying informed and staying productive.
Additionally, visually impaired users lack an accessible, audio-first news experience that doesn't feel like an afterthought.
We reframed the problem space into three core design questions that guided every decision in the project.
Problem
A one-size-fits-all approach fails to engage diverse users with different news interests.
Solution
Advanced algorithms and user profiling deliver highly personalized feeds.
Problem
Visually impaired users struggle with text-heavy apps not designed for audio-first interaction.
Solution
Enhanced NLP and voice customization with voice commands and adjustable narration speeds.
Problem
Users feel overwhelmed when catching up requires sifting through excessive content.
Solution
An efficient news digest curates the most relevant follow-up stories for fast catch-up.
I mapped out four key user journeys to ensure every interaction felt intuitive and frictionless — from first launch through daily habitual use.
Natural voice technology delivers stories tuned to your interests — no reading required.
Switch between English and Mandarin in one tap. Interest categories adapt instantly.
Balance background music and narration freely. Coffee shop ambience keeps you in flow.
Save stories, turn them into beautiful cards, share to Instagram Story in one tap.
From onboarding to daily listening — every screen was designed to feel calm, focused, and effortless. The visual language mirrors the Lispresso brand: coffee-warm, minimal, and premium.
The four main screens — Onboarding, Home Feed, Listening Player, and Share — were built in Figma with a componentized design system to ensure consistency across all views.
This project shifted my thinking from screen-first to experience-first. When the primary interface is audio, every visual element has to earn its place — the UI exists to support the listening, not compete with it.
