Understanding the Problem
Rooty is an app made for students who have trouble finding jobs and building experiences. Our team researched on the needs of BCIT students, and we figured many students are looking for freelance jobs to earn money in flexible hours and to be involved in a project to build portfolios. However, as other freelancing apps have a wide range of users and professionals rolex milgauss copy taken over the market, students were pushed behind competitions. As a solution, we decided to make an app for BCIT students where they can sell or barter their skills to gain work experience, portfolios, and net-work with each other.
My goal was to create an intuitive, user-friendly experience that would improve the user experience and increase engagement with our app, Rooty. To accomplish this, I conducted user research, developed user stories and personas, created detailed wireframes and mockups.
