Prototype Iteration

Low-fidelity, mid-fidelity, high-fidelity--what these labels look like as a deliverable can vary according to your stage in the design process and the deliverable in question. Generally speaking, low-fidelity is the most cost-effective to adjust or scrap where high-fidelity represents more significant investments in the development process.
No matter the fidelity, prototypes facilitate feedback at all stages of product development.

App: TravelBuddy

Mobile travel app emphasizing safety

APPROACH
We wanted to design a mobile travel app that takes context into consideration. We took an innovative approach when we split our low-fidelity user testing into two strands: traditional and an approach we designed from Celeste Lyn Paul's Linear Delphi card sorting method (2008).

Device: Medication Management

APPROACH
I advocated to develop a device that facilitates remote medication management. Our team focused development on alerts and microinteractions. I sketched a prototype of the device, created the physical prototype with input from the team, and iterated screen interactions.

Website: 2016 Presidential Election

Dynamic bipartisan presidential election website

APPROACH
We wanted to create a website covering the 2016 presidential election where both experienced politicos and newcomers could easily find what they needed. We tried to improve navigation through this dense political landscape with information architecture that supports quick access as well as information foraging.
