Introduction

I spearheaded the user experience design for the Viniflora app, catering to both iOS and Android platforms, from its inception in June 2018. My responsibilities encompassed a wide range of tasks, including conducting user research, creating wireframes and prototypes, and collaborating with developers to ensure seamless implementation.
