Our company would like to explore designing a new web-based application with a prototype. We are always on the lookout for innovative and fresh UI and UX ideas that will help our users.

This will involve:

• Providing a design with a fresh look to attract our users.
• 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 web application which can be used on all major browsers and be mobile-friendly
• 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:

• Understand our application that it is under development
• Familiarize themselves with a design tool of their choosing and understand how it works. We strongly recommend Figma.
• Design and build inside of the design tool all the needed screens for a redesigned prototype of our product
• 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

Phase 1 focused on some of the users interfaces, while Phase 2 will focus on the interface of the remaining users of the application

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
