Visual Designer

Product Development, Capstone Project - Lynk 

Lynk is an event organizer application aimed at public and SMB’s to host events both paid and free. This project involved delivering a product from conception phase to a working prototype using agile methodologies through three iterative cycles. • I was responsible for overlooking the visual design and user experience of the product as well as creating the main prototype. The initial idea began with the purpose of solving the problem of people not being able to meet others in-person safely. We were tasked with creating a profitable business model that would be effective at solving the problem and would last even after the pandemic is over.
