An ____ Vu —

  1. “Normal science, the activity in which most scientists inevitably spend almost all their time, is predicated on the assumption that the scientific community knows what the world is like”

    ― Thomas S. Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions

  2. “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

  3. ―George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman

            Meeting people is hard.  Meeting people while not everyone speaks the same language is very hard. Now, try meeting people in a foreign country, while knowing no one, while not speaking the language, and having no idea where to go/what to do. Seems a tad... difficult. And I’ve to experience this problem first hand while studying design + aesthetics in Japan. So I designed this app: Skooba. 

            Key functionality, problem identification, market validation, user pain points, ethos, focus points, physical iterations, branding and roadmap can be found in the final slide deck here: Skooba Overview

            Defined a personal problem. Surveyed the market for existing solutions, found them to be deficient. Used Adobe XD to prototype UI as well as interactions. Put final designs through 2 critique rounds of ~15 peers each time. Iterated on critiques after each round, and created a final slide deck to guide through the process. Will create a full documentation of the design process soon.

            A few iterations on the explore screen, I wanted something to highlight the values I cared about, and wanted to differentiate from Tinder and Bumble:



        Here is the final wireframe:
