Board Game Friends

I've designed a complete prototype (not an MVP) with extensive interconnectivity between buttons, features, and workflows, and fully interconnected screens.

The research phase was particularly engaging, as it allowed me to gather and interpret valuable insights directly from board game players. Understanding their preferences, pain points, and behavior provided a solid foundation for designing the app's features.

1. Profile Customization: Tailor user profiles to reflect preferences and interests.
2. Event Participation: Streamline the search and joining process for events.
3. Social Interaction: Enhance communication among users to foster community.

The most difficult part about designing a completely functional app was planning the full logical roadmap, accounting for all possible user's choices, errors and conditional actions. For users participating in the same event, dynamic changes in the event conditions (e.g. the Host leaves, change in reserved seats) must be reflected in everyone's interface and trigger actions and notifications.

I use heuristic evaluation in my UI design because it's like knowing that my design is made under clear rules and standardized norms. It's quick, cost-effective, and catches big issues early. This analysis complements and accompanies the feedback received from real users, which is undoubtedly the most important.

• All users were able to complete the assigned tasks.
• Everyone reached the end. (Some took detours while others took shortcuts).
• Logging in through Google was the quickest and preferred method.
• Users mentioned that the path is easy to navigate and intuitive.
