Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Our company has an existing mobile app and we need to update the UX/UI design.
Tasks may include:
- Conducting background research on our existing application for the product to make sure no necessary components are missed in the new design/interface.
- We are adding a new tool to our app, this tool will also require a UX/UI design update.
- 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 a native mobile application which can be used on both iOS and Android
- Conducting UX / UI testing with real potential users potentially involving paper prototypes or other software tools to support this
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities:
- Familiarize themselves with our existing product and have a plan to improve it.
- 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 mobile application prototype of our product.
- Present a rough draft of the complete new design (with ALL important components included) to our CEO and get her notes for improvements/changes and update the design accordingly.
- 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 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

- How will you support learners in completing the project?
-
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
- What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?
-
In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:
- Industry design tools such as Figma or InVision
- Up to date design philosophy standards
- Human computer interaction concepts
- UX / UI design experience
Nice to haves for students include
- User testing strategies
Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here. Students will be expected to research and learn more about this above as the project goes along.
