I was the only product designer leading this project in Q1 2022 ideating early concepts, prototyping, building design systems, wireframing, running design sprints, and delivering final assets. I worked with a team that included a graphic designer, two front-end developers, and two back-end developers.

• Assist in ideating early concepts for those who are not familiar with design tools
• All-in-one tool that offers a seamless experience from ideation to documentation
• Facilitate communication between designers and developers

Designers and developers use different tools

Designers and developers use different tools, which challenges communication in product ideation/design. For instance, while designers use Figma or Sketch, Developpers will use Github, Pycharm, and so on.
