App Architecture & Wireframes

Using notes from the founder, I first created a list of features needed for the product MVP. I designed the app architecture and began fleshing out the functions. The architecture contains too much proprietary information to share images.

I then contributed to creating a library of design patterns for wireframing. The design lead created a sidebar and I began making wireframes for the individual sections.

Illustration & Animation

Another designer created the initial illustrations for the website but they were not cohesive and didn’t share the same style or color theme. I drew additional illustrations, including a bird and astronaut, in order to design a single homepage.

I then created very subtle animations to individual elements for the website.
