My process involved a lot of time interpreting instructions and trying my best to navigate the tasks individually. A lot of my week involved finding the right time to work on the project and executing to the best of my ability. I found the actual building of the platform to be enjoyable, yet quite time consuming even for something as simple as I had designed. A lot of googling on how to do certain tasks on Figma. Once I got a good handle on the platform i got into a flow and managed to bring it to a more complete state.

Reflection:
This project was a really unique undertaking for me, as I had no real experience building a UI app. The closest i’ve come is designing a website on Figma and Squarespace, which doesn’t require as much user interaction aside from clicking on images. So, creating this project felt very daunting and especially not having a team and doing the work myself had me create a lesser project. Although working on my own, I do feel proud of being able to complete everything. The project is functional, and everything is labeled correctly, with all basic features working.
