Problem

heres some info about the problem

Goal

Process

1. Discovery

First Part

secondary research and interviews

System design

physical prototyping (sketching forms, rapid physical prototype, deciding to do an acts-like prototype, building the real one)

digital prototype (provisional personas, white board concept mapping/stories/ui/specs, wireframes/sketching ui, interactive prototyping)

here's some text

Sketching Wireframes

The following is placeholder text known as “lorem ipsum,” which is scrambled Latin used by designers to mimic real copy. Nulla eu pretium massa. Nulla eu pretium massa. Mauris egestas at nibh nec finibus. Maecenas non leo laoreet, condimentum lorem nec, vulputate massa.

High Fidelity Mockups

I used Sketch to create screens, and Principle to make an interactive prototype. This allowed me to test the user flows, get feedback, and make any changes to improve the usability.
