Other Projects

Pigeon app was our final project for the Codepath Bootcamp. My team (two other female designers) and I designed and built a fully interactive prototype in Swift using XCode. The app was recognized as a Top 5 / Honorable Mention for the Spring 2015 Cohort.

Our goal was to create a simple and meaningful experience to share memories with loved ones. Our app lets you turn any photo into a real postcard and send it anywhere in the world—all from a mobile device right on your hand.

From the get-go, we had milestone planning, weekly meetings as well as Google Doc + GitHub repository set up and documented. This helped us creatively collaborate, iterate, and achieve milestones in a very effective way. We divided up the tasks into three main parts: intro, front, and back of the postcard. I was responsible for the product design research as well as back of the postcard design-and-development. As a team, we helped one another throughout the project and made sure that we applied our knowledge, learned new things, and delivered a great product.

PROBLEM SET

Modern Garage Sale App. Preparing your own garage sale is often a daunting task. It’s also difficult for potential buyers to discover your merchandise. Design an experience that makes it easier for sellers to intelligently inventory their goods and to help the bargain hunters find the needle in a haystack.

SOLUTION

Designed for two types of users (buyer and seller) with a clear call to action as a launchpad for the first time experience. The decision state is saved and the app will launch in this mode the next time it’s opened. Users can switch modes at the side menu.
