Building solutions from concept to completion
This project allowed me to practice the full UX/UI design process, from research to visual design. It challenged me to simplify complex information, integrate my illustration skills into the user experience, and create a platform concept that addresses user pain points. This experience helped me refine my problem-solving abilities and communicate my design decisions more effectively.
