Using rapid idea generation and storyboarding, potential solutions were found for the pain points and user needs

Wireframes to prototypes

I crafted a low-fidelity prototype using pen and paper to facilitate rapid and iterative design changes, preventing designers from becoming overly attached to any specific design
