mind maps The mind maps really helped me categorize parts of Hope’s life that I may not have seen similarities between before. I was also able to start pinpointing some problems she was experiencing.

Designed the actual look of the app and its different screens, including the home screen, task key, and main task page. When Hope gets on the app she has the option to change her tasks for the day on the “task key” page. When she does a task, she will click it on her bracelet and it will disappear from the “Hopes tasks” page. 17
high fidelity Put my designs on the final mock-ups, including the bracelet which will be fully touch screen so that when Hope finishes a task she can click on the task she is done with.

reflection I developed a useful tool that I think would work well for hope and her lifestyle as well as learned about problem statements and how those are helpful in design. I also created a project that I feel proud of and could be useful for my portfolio. It was hard to find problems in our partners life initially, and to get to know them in a short time but after we started getting more into it things began to get easier.
