MY ROLE
When I joined the company, they had a v1 mobile app and website. For v2 they wanted to integrate many new features that had not yet been designed, I was tasked with creating the UX and UI for these new features and producing a feasible product within the given time frame. This allowed me to exercise my creative freedom, and I worked closely with the CEO and developers to bring our ideas to life. Through this experience, I gained invaluable insights into the industry, and my design skills improved significantly.

"User Matching"
Better Off Social's algorithm works by matching people with similar interests. After users attend an event, we ask them to tell us which members they felt like were a good fit. This data is used to improve their groups for future events.
User research indicated that people don’t want to fill out a post-event questionnaire regarding their feedback so we had to think of a way to gather data that was easy, intuitive, and detailed:
We wanted something that was easy and familiar so I used dating apps like Tinder and Bumble as inspiration for my design.

"My Community"
This feature allows users to connect with each other following an event to strengthen their relationships.
While working on this, I referenced design patterns from best-in-class social media and messaging apps. These prototypes were used to convey my design ideas to business people and engineers. Overtime these designs have changed as the Better Off Social design system was updated, but the functionality remains the same.

LESSON LEARNED: OVERSCOPING
During my internship, I quickly learned about the negative impact of over-scoping on project timelines. My boss and the other designers on the team talked to me about how keeping your designs aligned with the design system ensures they are practical for deployment in the given time frame.
One of my first tasks was to redesign the website dashboard. I introduced too many new components in my original design, and I received feedback that it would be too difficult to implement within the given time frame.
This experience taught me to focus on practicality, and balance creativity with project scope. By keeping my designs aligned with the current system, I created more effective designs that met the needs of all stakeholders.
While my initial design for the dashboard won't be used right away, it will inspire future iterations.
