This was a very important project for me. Although I worked on different web apps earlier but working on Getlit meant to solve actual problems from a unique set of users and understand their needs and design as per those needs. I learned to collaborate with people, understood how they think, and it also gave me a chance to try different stylings, fonts, and come up with a unique set of designs which suited the Getlit brand better.‍

I was responsible from the very beginning of the product design. First, I worked on the MVP, which comprised designing the basic landing page and teacher’s and student’s portal. After moving to the next phase and approval from the client. I started working on the whole web-app which was almost 25-30 pages long and included some of the most important features like, assignment submission, library to search content, teacher's dashboard, student's dashboard, classes screen, and many others. I was responsible for designing this whole set of screens including everything from UI to UX to colors and choosing the fonts and overall styling.‍

I started by listing out all the screens and creating a user flow. This user flow helped me to design and understand the user journey, and it also helped me to see how the web app is going to work in real life. Since there were two different user groups, "Teachers" and "Students" I had to think about how they moved through the web app and reduce any unnecessary screens or points. For this, I also talked to the client I was working with and I started working from there. After designing the user journey and understanding the movement, I began working on the rough wireframes and then turning those rough wireframes into low-fidelity mockups. In between, I was in contact with the client, and I was sharing my ideas and process. After reviewing the low fidelity mockups with the client and getting some initial feedback and reviews, I moved to the next high fidelity version.‍
