Morphace is a startup selling consumer electronics for skincare. Aside from our hardware, we would like to explore designing an iOS App prototype to engage with, generate interest, and identify the problems of our potential customers.

We have another software engineer leading the project and implementing the App features, such as wrinkle detection and skin hydration tracking. We need input from the UI / UX perspective to make the App easy to navigate, for capturing user activity.

Tasks may include:

• Conducting background research on similar skin-tracking applications on iOS
• 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 an iOS application
• 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
• 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 mobile application prototype of our product
• Present the final design screens to us with the context of all choices made, problems encountered, and the next steps 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
