SPARK | Materials management application for designers - 2022
Overview
This project was part of my part-time UX Design master's degree, completed over one semester while working at Haute École Arc. The goal was to design an application to accompany a physical material library, primarily used by industrial design students. The solution aimed to enable access to and organisation of material data while integrating sensory dimensions to stimulate creativity and enhance the design process.

As a student, I covered the entire UX and UI design of the project. My responsibilities included:
-
Orchestrating the complete UX process, from research to prototyping and user testing.
-
Collaborating with stakeholders, including teachers, librarians, and students.
-
Creating an interactive high-fidelity prototype, including a full design system and visual identity.
-
Conducting usability tests to validate and refine proposed solutions.
