Role and Responsibilities
I was instrumental in developing the prototype and final presentation design for the "Torontoist" mobile app. I took the lead in the early phases and developed the prototypes, concentrating on creating a user experience that was both aesthetically pleasing and useful. The app's basic design was established by this early effort, which I then expanded upon to create intricate arrangements. In addition, I used Canva to start fresh when creating the final project presentation, carefully choosing the images and organizing the text to convey our project's goals, methodology, and results. This presentation skillfully demonstrated the app to academic evaluators and stakeholders, emphasizing its professional aesthetic appeal and utility.
