Baron — The Smart Pet Care Ecosystem

Role: Co-Founder & Lead Product Designer Timeline: 2024 – Present Tools: Figma, After Effects, Veo (AI Video), ElevenLabs The Vision Most pet care platforms are simple marketplaces that connect owners with sitters. Baron disrupts this by introducing a data-driven, smart care system. We didn't just want to find a dog walker; we wanted to provide a "Shield" for the pet, ensuring their safety through science and real-time data. The Problem Pet owners face significant anxiety when leaving their dogs with strangers. Standard apps lack professional depth—they don't account for a dog's specific health needs, activity levels, or environmental factors like weather, leading to generic and sometimes unsafe care.

The Solution: The Baron Algorithm™

I designed a comprehensive smart profile that acts as a digital brain for each pet. Expert-Backed Framework: Developed in collaboration with veterinary clinics and behavioral experts. Dynamic Intelligence: The app stores medical records, allergies, and habits, then uses a proprietary algorithm to adjust activity recommendations based on the dog's physical condition and real-time weather data. Live Transparency: A high-fidelity "Live Journal" allows owners to track walks in real-time, view photos, and monitor health markers. My Design Process System Architecture: I mapped out the complex data flow between the pet's health profile, the smart algorithm, and the caregiver's interface to ensure seamless data transfer. UI/UX Design: Focused on a "Premium Minimalist" aesthetic. The goal was to make high-tech health data feel accessible and warm, not clinical. Prototyping & Motion: Created high-fidelity video prototypes and ads using AI-driven tools (Veo, ElevenLabs) to simulate the real-world feel of the app's "Live Tracking" and "Smart Notifications". Key Features Designed: Smart Health Onboarding: A gamified flow to capture critical health data (allergies, medication, behavior). Real-Time Tracking Dashboard: A GPS-integrated map with activity logs (photos, bathroom breaks, and mood markers). The Baron Shield™ Interface: A visual indicator for owners and sitters confirming that all health and safety protocols are being met.
