A smart revolution in home fragrancing

Background

Prolitec entered the consumer IoT market in 2016 with their first app: Aera for Home. The Aera device is a luxury home fragrance system that can be controlled with the Aera for Home app, and with buttons on the device.

I started designing in 2015 with the original brief to create the Aera for Home app from the ground up. Following an initial MVP release, I continued to design additional features through several product evolutions.

Goals

Evolve the Aera for Home app in tandem with a global rebranding effort for Aera. Align with key stakeholders to ensure a consistent and high quality brand experience for users.

The design system must be compatible with Prolitec's parallel effort to white-label the app: all colors, typography and imagery are subject to adaptation to other home fragrance brands.

Look and feel direction centered on smart and luxury, with just a hint of whimsey.

Full control & scheduling

The Aera app has full access to the scent diffuser. The app can control a scent’s intensity and remotely turn it on and off. With easy controls for pairing diffusers and setting schedules, the app can automate and fine tune all devices with a tap of a button.
