Our company would like to design and build a prototype for a desktop application version of our current SAAS product. We currently have a working Alpha version of our product and would like to refine user journey for the next development sprint.

We would like an intern(s) to design a prototype application for our current web based product.

This will involve:

• Conduct background research of existing web application for the product.
• Identify key areas of our current product and how they might translate to a mobile application.
• Learn and use various software design tools. We strongly recommend students learn how to use Figma as it is the latest and greatest tool currently available.
• Creation of a screen by screen UX / UI prototype of a SAAS.

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 work. We strongly recommend Figma.
• Design and build inside of the design tool all the needed screens for a 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 UX / UI testing with real potential users potentially involving paper prototypes or other software tools to support this.

Final deliverables should include:

• A click-through prototype that supports customer journey
• The design screens and all assets in a shareable format
• Documentation of research and recommendations
• Design bible of UI/Material specs used

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project.

We will support interns:

• with weekly check ins and meaningful communication
• by providing resources for product onboarding and knowledge building
• mentorship and access to industry experts for consultation
• co-created tasks that align with personal strengths
