Our company has an existing mobile app and we need to update the UX/UI design.

Tasks may include:

• Conducting background research on our existing application for the product to make sure no necessary components are missed in the new design/interface.
• We are adding a new tool to our app, this tool will also require a UX/UI design update.
• Learning and using various software design tools. We strongly recommend students learn how to use Figma as this is the latest and greatest tool currently available.
• Creation of a screen by screen UX / UI prototype of a native mobile application which can be used on both iOS and Android
• Conducting UX / UI testing with real potential users potentially involving paper prototypes or other software tools to support this

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities:

• Familiarize themselves with our existing product and have a plan to improve it.
• Familiarize themselves with a design tool of their choosing and understand how it work. We strongly recommend Figma.
• Design and build inside of the design tool all the needed screens for a mobile application prototype of our product.
• Present a rough draft of the complete new design (with ALL important components included) to our CEO and get her notes for improvements/changes and update the design accordingly.
• Present the final design screens to us with the context of all their choices they made, problems they encountered, and next steps they recommend.

Bonus steps would include:

• Conducting any sort of user testing on the prototypes to ensure ease of use and to collect user feedback.

Final deliverables should include

• The design screens and all assets in a shareable format
• A presentation as stated above of the final designs

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Current product understanding
• Industry standard design tools and applications
• Any sort of branding or styling advice
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter
