Document App Walkthrough

The case study explores the development of a user onboarding experience for a document app, integrating skills acquired over a semester. Leveraging Miro, a collaborative online whiteboard platform, a walkthrough prototype was created to guide users through the app's features. This project exemplifies the application of acquired knowledge in a real-world context.

The challenge was to design a user-friendly onboarding process that efficiently familiarizes users with the document app's key features,.

The document app is a versatile tool for creating, editing, and managing various types of documents. However, with there being multiple paths to take - the goal was to practice creating a wireframe of all possible outcomes. 

- Ensure users understand and can effectively navigate the document app.

- Foster higher user engagement and retention rates.

The project integrated a semester's worth of learning, encompassing UI/UX design principles, front-end development, and user-centric design thinking. Miro was employed to create an interactive walkthrough prototype, providing a tangible representation of the proposed solution.

The project showcased the effective application of semester-long learnings in a practical context. The Miro-backed walkthrough prototype significantly improved user onboarding, setting a precedent for future enhancements to the document app's user experience.
