WearWell: From Closet Chaos to Clickable Calm

This was more than just coursework—it was a passion project I chose to explore a real problem I faced: outfit planning. With no background in coding or design, I taught myself Figma, built a clickable prototype, and imagined AI features like a styling assistant and secondhand store map. WearWell reflects my love for efficient, sustainable fashion—and my drive to turn creative ideas into something real.

Bringing WearWell to Life – From Idea to Interactive Prototype

Situation:
During the Winter 2025 semester in MARK2079, I developed WearWell, a sustainable fashion app concept born out of my personal need for outfit planning efficiency and minimalism. As someone who loves fashion and tech, I wanted to create a product that blends both—despite not having any prior app-building experience.

Tasks:

  • Conceptualized and built a fashion tech prototype from scratch

  • Learned UI/UX design, wireframing, and Figma through YouTube tutorials and hands-on trial and error

  • Created a simple, clean user journey to reduce mental clutter for users

  • Designed a digital closet, second-hand store map, and AI styling assistant

AI Integration:

  • Used ChatGPT -4o to plan user flows, draft copy, and generate feature ideas

  • Integrated an AI chat feature (concept) to suggest outfits based on users’ preferences and closet history

  • Explored no-code AI tools to support future iterations of the app

  • Google Labs FX to create my app’s Logo

Results:

  • Designed over 15+ app screens in Figma

  • Posted 2 reels on Instagram and TikTok to document my process → Reached 4000+ views on IG and 1400+ on TikTok

  • Received positive feedback and interest from peers and potential users, encouraging me to develop a downloadable app

Skills Developed:

  • UI/UX design, Figma prototyping, self-guided learning

  • AI in marketing, content planning, trend forecasting

  • Communication & digital storytelling (via social reels)

Navigating Setbacks and Pivoting with Community Support

Situation:
Midway through the project, I hit a wall. I couldn’t figure out how to turn my static Figma screens into an interactive prototype—and tutorials were just making me more confused.

  • Posted a story asking my Instagram followers for help and connected with a friend who helped guide me

AI Integration:

  • Used ChatGPT-4o to break down Figma terms, suggest UI practices, and help me create a smoother user journey

  • Explored ways AI can be ethically used for personalization, outfit curation, and trend detection

Results:

  • Successfully published a fully clickable prototype on Figma

  • Showed resilience by shifting direction without giving up on the vision

  • Gained confidence in navigating new software without formal instruction

Skills Developed:

  • Agility & problem solving, creative pivoting

Storytelling & Content Strategy to Showcase WearWell

  • Highlighted the unique features of WearWell (digital closet, AI styling, sustainable fashion tools)

  • Used captions, voiceovers, and a clean visual aesthetic to align with my personal brand and resonate with a fashion-forward audience

  • Created content hooks that reflected real struggles—like decision fatigue when dressing or wasting money on clothes we don’t wear

AI Integration:

  • Used ChatGPT-4o to help structure my video scripts, brainstorm captions, and clarify my messaging

  • Leveraged AI tools for voiceover ideas, script polishing, and platform-specific post timing insights

Results:

  • Over 5,000+ combined views across TikTok and Instagram Reels

  • Increased engagement on my profile and DMs from peers curious about UI/UX and app building

  • Learned how to align content tone with brand vision and deliver value through educational + inspirational storytelling
