Faccuracy helps users stay informed without needing a deep dive into online research every time they encounter a claim. The design brings fact-checking into familiar digital routines. My role was lead UI/UX designer.

UI/UX design / 2023
Faccuracy
Making credible information easier to find, understand, and question.
Design concept
The 30-second version
A quick look.
- Problem: checking online claims can interrupt the way young people browse and share information.
- My contribution: designed a visual language and fact-checking experience for everyday use.
- Reflection: the concept needs stronger user research and validation before claims about behaviour or trust can be made.

Context
Credible information, with less friction.
Faccuracy is a fact-checking app concept designed to make credible, transparent information easier to access.

Problem
A claim can travel faster than a check.
The project focused on adolescents encountering and sharing unverified news.
Read the details
The original brief addressed the spread of misinformation online and aimed to deliver truth and perspective to adolescents in education. Its assumptions about this audience would benefit from direct research into how people encounter misinformation on specific platforms.
Process
From a fact-checking idea to an interface.
Interaction flows and a visual system bring the concept into a tangible experience.
Read the details
The process board brings together the workflow and interface explorations behind the concept.
Solution
Checking facts where the questions happen.
On-screen checks, source-backed results, a debunk feed, and lock-screen learning form the proposed experience.
Read the details
On-screen fact-checking: verify selected text directly on the screen.
Transparent metrics: percentage-style results would be backed by credible sources. These are conceptual interface treatments, not validated accuracy scores.
A debunk feed: highlight false articles and recently debunked news alongside their sources.
Lock-screen widgets: support everyday learning through small facts on the lock screen.
Reflection
What I would do differently today.
I would start with stronger qualitative research, test the trust cues, and design for uncertain results.
Read the details
Faccuracy established a visual language and conceptual framework, but my approach to design has evolved.
Rigorous qualitative research: use structured interviews and thematic analysis to understand how adolescents encounter misinformation on particular platforms, rather than rely on broad assumptions.
Quantitative validation: A/B test a percentage-style trust metric against a binary true/false treatment to understand whether either reduces cognitive load or changes sharing behaviour.
Edge cases: account for API complexity and latency, including empathetic loading and insufficient-data states so uncertainty is communicated clearly.
