All projects were approached from a lean UX angle given the resources of a start-up business.
User-testing and usability research featured heavily throughout all projects and included various methods of information gathering from guerilla research with local parent groups to customer surveys to standardised remote user-testing to Heuristic evaluation.
During my time at Screen Time I helped improve quality of impressions, customer opinion on UI and conversion through my various projects.
