01The project
Putting a name to the plants around us.
With Sapify, we wanted to get people interested in plants, especially children exploring with their parents. The idea combined plant photography, an encyclopedia and things to collect.
We worked on the project between 2022 and 2023, then stopped development. I kept the mockups for the home screen, encyclopedia, quizzes, achievements and account pages. They show the plants, little challenges and rewards we had planned.

02My work
Building the app and moving the project forward.
With Alexandre Quintela, I worked on the full stack development of the mobile app and helped organise the project, using our mockups and visual guidelines.
Full stack mobile co-development
With Alexandre Quintela, I helped develop the app using React Native and Firebase. I work on interfaces, application logic and data, using whichever tools suit the project.
Moving the project forward together
I also helped organise the project and track our progress. The mockups and visual guidelines helped us agree on the screens and the world of the app.
03Under the hood
The screens we had in mind.
These mockups show how you would move from the home screen to discovering a plant. They were made before development ended in 2023.
Explore the planned screens

The character and scenery set the tone for the app, with a playful approach to nature.
Finding plants.
The list lets you browse species and open their entries.
