My role: 

UX designer leading the app design from conception to delivery

Responsibilities:

Conducting interviews, paper and digital wireframing, low and high-fidelity prototyping, conducting usability studies, accounting for accessibility, iterating on designs, determining information architecture, and responsive design.

The User Understanding: 

●User research          ●Personas          ●Problem statements          ●Competitive audit          ●Ideation

User research: Summary

I researched the problem of the user and tried to include in my research the most important pain points and problems that the user suffers from, as most young people and graduates suffer from the difficulty of accessing training centers and obtaining vocational training except after painstaking and painstaking research, due to the lack of a platform or site that can Companies and institutions to list vocational training positions. The same goes for postgraduate, in-depth, and educational centers. After identifying most of the pain points, and understanding and studying the problem statement, I built a hypothesis to solve the problems.

Competitive Audit

Ideation

Ideation

I did a quick thinking exercise to come up with ideas on how to address the gaps identified in competitive auditing. My focus was specifically on how to make the app straightforward to use. To reach the largest number of users

Starting the design

●Digital wireframes                    ●Low-fidelity prototype                    ●Usability studies

Digital wireframes

After some thought and drafting of paper wireframes, I created the initial designs for the Youth Guide app. These designs focused on providing users with personalized instructions for registering, introducing their skills, accessing city facilities, and accessing chats.

Low-fidelity prototype

Usability study:  parameters

Study type: Moderated usability study           Location: Espana--Catalona          Participants: 7 participants

Length: 30-60 minutes

Refining the design

●Mockups                    ●High-fidelity prototype                    ●Accessibility

Based on insights from usability studies, I implemented design changes such as providing a clear section of the home screen for access to app sections at the bottom of the app.

 Additional design changes included adding a search margin to the map page and providing a clearer indication of the city's many important amenities.
