What I learnt
Thrive is a 1-week design sprint. This project taught me how to perform in a fast-paced environment. I gained the ability to make quick decisions, which helped me move forward and work on design. I learned how to create a business model, which was entirely new to me. I worked on a prototype in a relatively short amount of time, which enhanced my confidence in working on other projects.
Next Steps
If I had time to work on this project I would talk to users and understand their pain points and problems. And refine the prototype and do changes.I would improve the ui design of this app and do like working real app.
