I have decided to get serious about learning Swift UI.

Over the past couple days I have listened to some very inspiring conversations on clubhouse featuring Jordan Singer, Eli Rousso, and Meng To.

These conversations have inspired me to do a deep dive into Swift UI!

After poking around a bit I discovered a free program called “100 days of Swift UI”. (https://www.hackingwithswift.com/100/swiftui)

Today is Day 1!

I’ll keep yall posted. 😎 Have a lovely day,

I wrapped up my bootcamp program this week!

It was a great learning experience and now I’m feeling pretty confident about diving into the job hunt full time. A big shoutout to my mentor Matt, thank you for all your help!

Here’s what I presented for my capstone project if you want to have a look:

If you hear of any UX or product design opportunities, please let me know!

In the meantime, I’ll be continuing to expand my skill set. I’m looking to learn more about Swift UI and interaction design.

I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far.

Peace + love

Today I participated in a pretty fun portfolio critique put on inside the Ribbitt discord server.

It was nice to have my work looked at and to check out what some of my peers are up to in terms of portfolios.

Some of my notes are here:

Big shoutout to all the organizers! Thanks again for all the feedback.

I will be working on an updated version of my portfolio in the days to come.

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.

Happy new year!

I have high hopes for 2021. The world seems to be waking up in many ways...

In terms of my work, I am wrapping up my Pigeon Courier app over the next week or so.

I have the prototype mostly finished and will be conducting usability tests shortly.

Here’s a look at the prototype as it stands currently:

If you want to explore further, here is a link to the clickable prototype:

They are coming along nicely!

What’s up yall? I have officially started work on my Thinkful capstone project! For this project I will be designing a new courier app called Pigeon. I got the idea for this project while doing courier work for a local bicycle delivery collective. The app they currently use frustrated me on many levels, so I decided to make some improvements! My main goal is to create a mobile app with great UX that local bicycle couriers can utilize on a daily basis. In this way I am promoting sustainable delivery, local businesses and positive user experiences! I have already completed a decent amount of the user research. user survey (feel free to take it 😎): https://jo3ma.typeform.com/to/liG8Wo survey results: https://jo3ma.typeform.com/report/liG8Wo/QUVSOPNNr3g72lsU personas: https://www.figma.com/file/9mqulYyjpj9mdLUBFNULmg/pigeonPERSONAS?node-id=0%3A1

Today I will dive into user flows. Stay tuned yall.... ✌️🙏🏄‍♂️🌱 Have a lovely Tuesday, -Joe

Hey y’all!

It’s been a sec, but I’m still trucking along. Over the past few weeks I spent time beefing up my case studies, rebranding myself, and updating my portfolio site.

my current published site is here:

I have another version of my portfolio in the works that you can preview here:

In the next week I will start doing research for my Thinkful capstone project. It will be a courier app called Pigeon.

I hope you are having a lovely Sunday.

We are now moving into our first team design project! So far my team has been great. We spent the last two days getting our roadmap planned out and interviewing our client.

We will be creating a lo fi desktop prototype for a meal planner app. 😎

I think it’s going to be a great 3 week process!

My transit app finally has a name!

I have decide to call it “Joyride”. 😎🚋

I had fun doing some quick branding work and I will be spending the weekend on a presentation of my process so far.

Here is a link to the current prototype:

https://www.figma.com/proto/OxlHSsGZDNY19TGxOjqqVE/busAPPprototype?node-id=74%3A41&scaling=scale-down

I am also learning how to screen record! Below is a lil video of the prototype. Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Still plugging away at the transit app!

Over the past couple days I continued to refine my wireframes and am now getting into branding, typography, and higher fidelity prototypes.

It will be fun to inject some personality into my wireframes and to see this app start to blossom!

Below is my moodboard for the app.

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Got into some wireframes and prototyping 🤓

I’m liking how it’s coming together.

Just gotta keep the pace 🙏

Got started on user flows for the transit app today!

I am horrible at sketching of any kind but this was a nice way to get some practice.

Here’s the Figma file for the flows: https://www.figma.com/file/bGjk2fpoNWc3UkmVuD8k1j/busAPPuserFLOW?node-id=1%3A3

Here’s a quick presentation on my user flow exercises so far: https://www.icloud.com/keynote/0p5LuTbjsWJPNfnHYgFW35NCw#busAPPuserFLOWpres

I hope you had a lovely day.
