Project Overview
Les Bambinets is a mobile application designed to help parents and early-childhood professionals communicate more effectively with toddlers through baby sign language. The idea came from the need to bridge the communication gap during the early stages of a child’s development, when verbal expression is still limited or absent.
To define the core problems, we conducted user research with both parents and nursery staff. They highlighted frustration when trying to interpret non-verbal signals, and expressed a strong preference for visual tools, especially videos as a way to teach and recall signs.
The app was therefore built around a visual-first learning experience, featuring a glossary of 20 essential signs, each illustrated with short, easy-to-understand videos. It also includes categorized navigation, interactive quizzes, a favourites system, and a FAQ section to support new learners.
I led the UX/UI design of the project, from early research and persona creation to wireframing, prototyping, and user testing. I also contributed to feature scoping and interface decisions, ensuring that the experience remained intuitive, responsive, and accessible across different use cases, whether at home or in a busy childcare environment.
This project taught me how to balance user constraints, technical limitations, and real-life context to build something both useful and delightful.

User Journey / Flow
Browse → filter signs by category → watch video → favourite sign → quiz for recall. This loop repeats whenever a new concept is learned.
Wireframes
Low-fidelity sketches outline a tabbed layout: Glossary, Quiz, FAQ, Favourites. Focus on thumb-reachable controls for one-handed use while holding a child.
Prototyping
Clickable Figma prototype links every core screen and embeds sample videos to test load perception.
