Personas
I created three personas to consider throughout the iterative process: my primary persona is an underclassmen undergraduate student, my first secondary persona is an upperclassmen undergraduate student, and my tertiary persona is a first-year graduate student.
Empathy map
I created an empathy map for my primary user to gain a deeper understanding of their needs so that my app's core features best reflected their goals.
Information architecture
To prepare for wireframing, I organized a user's typical workflows based on the app's core features.
Wireframing
Before developing my high-fidelity prototype, I created low-fidelity frames based on the workflows from my information architecture phase.
