Project Type: Team (5 person)
Role: UI/UX Designer and Project Manager
Duration: Jun 2020 - Aug 2020
Responsibilities:
For project in Apple Developer Academy, no matter what role that I choose, I have to actively participate in every step of the development process especially the research and user testing.
As a designer, I was responsible in wireframing using Keynote, lo-fi prototyping using Marvel, hi-fi prototyping using Sketch, and determining content inside the application. I was also responsible to create user testing plan that includes user testing scenario, script, evaluative questions, and testing parameter. The user testing was done using TestFlight. I also took part in coding the onboarding page using Swift Programming Language. This is my first time trying UIScrollView. During this challenge, I also collaborated using GitHub for the coding part.
As a project manager, I was responsible in leading the daily meetings, reporting the progress to the facilitators, planning the development schedule and creating the backlog to monitor the team’s progress.
My Mini challenge 3 project at Apple Developer Academy is an app called kostzy. Kostzy is an app where new boarders are able to find new friends, join communities, share and gain experiences from other boarders in their area and/or destination area. This is a solution to the challenge because it's important to surround new boarders with other boarders during kost- life so that they have a feeling of having someone to rely on. It will also give them chance to boarden their social life. The role I choose in this project is Designer.
I was again trusted to be the Project Manager for this project.
During my time as a designer, I created several tools to help the team determine the flow of the application and the features to be built. The first thing to do is wireframing. I was also in charge in creating backlog. Not only that, I also took part in coding the onboarding page. This is my first time trying UIScrollView. During this challenge, I also collaborate using GitHub for the coding part.
The design concept for this app is “simple and minimalist”. This concept is chosen based on the research that my team and I had done. Our users, which are ‘anak kost’ ranging between 18-24 years old most likely want to have their app to have a sense of easy-to-navigate and fast app. The color is also chosen to give a fun look on the app and also is suitable for both light mode and dark mode.
