Overview
I reworked a developer’s prototype platform to allow employees to scan the customer’s driver’s license for library card registration by incorporating improved user experience and usability in the product. The developer began working on the project prior to UX research, causing major usability issues in the application.
Tools Used
- Word (Observation Study)
- Photoshop (Mock-ups/Interface Designs)
- Jira/Confluence (Technical Specs, Product Requirement Documentation)
