Project Overview

Digital Product Development Lifecycle

Many Christians find it difficult to remain engaged in their studies and daily life in an effective, balanced manner that still feels true to their personalities.
My objective was to create customizable Notion dashboard that blends spiritual practices with productivity tools, featuring pre-designed templates for Bible study, prayer journaling, habit tracking, and goal-setting within a clean, minimalist interface designed to reduce overwhelm.

Deliverables

Notion dashboard centered around faith and day to day needs with different functions, templates, and resources

Platforms

Notion productivity software and Canva (for visual elements)

My Role

Sole Product Designer
I handled the entire design process, from braisntorm to final designs and user focus testing, ensuring the final product would be useful for customers.

Design Process

Based on market research and competitive analysis, I interviewed 5 potential users who prioritize faith in their daily routines from the initial focus group, key pain points were that existing planners felt too generic, not personal enough, or hard to set up. My design priorities were to create something customizable and ready to use right away.

I conducted usability tests with 5 participants from the initial interview group. Feedback highlighted the following areas for improvement:
• Simplify the financial tracker interface for clarity and overview of multiple accounts.
• Add more guided prompts in the daily devotional section.
• Enhance the dream journal with symbolic interpretations and sleep tracker with an automated goal system.

Results

The end product was a comprehensive, user-friendly bible supplement and Notion dashboard tailored to Christian users, focusing on enhancing their spiritual journey, personal development, and daily organization. The dashboard integrates various features, including a Bible reading tracker, daily devotional, prayer tracker, sermon notes, financial tracker, and personal journaling tools.

The faith-based Notion template saw 20 downloads within its first month of release and received positive feedback for its comprehensive features and aesthetic design. Users appreciated the template’s bright, inviting colors and design, and the thoughtfully crafted templates to build a more intentional and fulfilling spiritual routine. One user stated it was “beautifully put together and the colors are stunning!”

Once you fill out how many chapters you've read, it fills out part of the progress line. I also included study tips and dividers for those who take digital notes on Notion. There is also a section for different prayers a person will take their time on, ranging from topics such as family, daily life and personal development, and love.

Takeaways

Flexibility in design is not an enemy. A sandbox product is good since it allows for room for personalization by not targeting a single "ideal user".

If I were to iterate on this again, I’d love to explore more interactive Notion integrations, different faiths, and a guided onboarding experience for new users. I would further refine the design by introducing more accessibility safeguards and informational guardrails and adding comunity features.
