Reflection
Through this project and the lectures, I learned the importance of application design and gained an understanding of what human-centered design means. During the proposal process, I discovered many flaws in the app that I had never noticed as a regular user. In addition, I realized that each person’s experience with the same app can be vastly different. I’m really looking forward to improving existing app designs in the upcoming projects.
