Abstract
This thesis explores the use of UX and UI principles through the development of a mobile
application that supports artists and hobbyists in managing and tracking their art supplies.
Guided by the Design Thinking process, this project is both a practical exploration of user
centered design and a way for me to grow as a designer. By addressing a common organizational
challenge faced by artists, the study uses a case-based approach to create a solution that is
intuitive and visually balanced. The final deliverable is a functional prototype created in Figma,
shaped by insights from competitive analysis and visual design considerations. This work is both
a professional case study and a reflection of my development as a designer, demonstrating how
creative problem solving can be applied to real needs through mobile design.
