Reflection📍

The limited amount of time available for me to create this prototype pushed myself to delegate tasks in a timely manner. This project also gave me a look behind the scenes of how business models are produced and made with a start-up idea.

If given more time I would have liked to have further developed on our prototype’s user experience as we were never given the opportunity to conduct user testing. Overall it was a very rewarding experience, and I appreciated the chance to try at being a creative director for this web and product concept designing.
