Contribution
As design lead my main contribution was ideation and prototype design for an MVP to be tested. Through ideation sessions, sketching, prototyping and usability testing we developed a native app that aims to revolutionise the serialised novel industry, by providing quality content and rewarding authors and readers fairly and ethically. Worked with a Product Manager and a team of Engineers to create a viable solution with short iterative sprints.
