In 2022, I enrolled in an online UX/UI Academy hosted by DesignLab with the hopes of gaining skills in user research, wireframing, and digital design. One of my projects was to design the main screens of a mobile application— I created “Sprout”, a social app designed to help users make goals, stay on track, and share progress with friends. I conducted user research through interviews, developed personas, made a goal diagram and branding guidelines, created user flows, task flows, wireframes, prototyped, performed usability testing, and more. While this project was never intended to be completed or launched, it was a great way to take a deep dive into the full design process.
