Creative Collab

The Project

After dabbling in the visual side of design at the start of my career, I decided there was something missing – the importance of the user’s experience in a design. That’s when I came across General Assembly’s 10 week UX Design certification course and decided to take it. The course involved creating a product that helped solve a problem in our community.

I first came up with this product like any other idea – I was experiencing a major problem in a specific market that I wanted to fix. That problem was the lack of resources for young creatives fresh out of school to collaborate on projects together outside of a full time job. In the end, I came up with a product that helped facilitate collaboration and strong, working relationships for young creatives through a sleek app design with a similar concept of dating apps where users get to know each other online before making the decision to meet up in person to collaborate on a project to eliminate the anxiety of in-person meet-ups.

I went through the UX Design process from conducting interviews to creating user personas and user flows and then testing usability on prototypes and wireframes. I also learned how to create on-boarding screens for an app to allow for users to easily understand a new product in the market. At the end of the course, I was certified in UX Design by General Assembly.
