- Idea came from own experience as a pet lover
- Bad environment could cause mental/ physical health issues

- Wanted to create something that keeps our pets in an ideal world
- So what features are the most necessary for pets?
Goals
- Target: create an app that makes both a pet and an owener satisfy.
- Simplicity: intuitive user interface design; users should know what they are supposed to tap right away.
- Consistency: each page should be based on a consistent layout.
- Color: use bright and vivid colors to make an app fresh and alive
