As part of the Career Foundry UX boot camp, I was given the brief to create a responsive health and wellbeing portal for users to record their health and medical information. I chose to focus on a solution that would benefit expecting parents and provide them with the tools to support and educate them throughout their pregnancy. I was responsible for the full end-to-end product design where I followed the Design Thinking Process in order to create thoughtful and innovative solutions prioritizing the consumers needs above all else.
