Roles: UX Researcher · UX Designer · Interaction Designer · This client project was an opportunity provided by GA as part of my studies. The project was completed in a 3 week sprint for HERE Global relief. My team of three worked to develop new interactive meditation exercises as part of HERE's corporate rollout project coming later in 2022. The exercises needed to incorporate regular moments of calm, using science-based components in order to improve users’ emotional wellbeing. · Took on various roles: “facilitator”, “design coach” and “cheerleader” working within a team. · Communicated with stakeholders and participated in weekly client stand-ups and design studios. · Conducted screener surveys to find and interview specific and relevant users. · Presented findings and projects to clients and delivered a design handoff and art style tutorial. The feedback given from the client was overwhelmingly positive and they have implemented the exercises into the next update of their app. (Recommendation from Howard, co-founder in "recommendations" section.)
