While heading the Digital department at Rebels Playground, I was tasked to bring to life a new luxury watch marketplace for the elite. My main tasks was to do user experience and interface design for the web app and mobile app. Prior to this project, I had never undertaken designing and developing dashboard based web apps, which is what made my task daunting, but it's all well and good because I love challenges.
During my user research, it was apparent that the target user's were mostly males aged +40, which meant that fonts, colours and layout were all important as these users were highly possible having eye issues and were not tech savvy which is why simplicity was key. Black and white was the colour of choice for the interface design and I had to ensure design cohesion among the different web app interfaces for the different users.
After having the UI design approved, the next task was to develop the front-end for the web app dashboard. What I learned during this project was that when working with a team, you need to accommodate your entire team because I was initially to use Vue Js for this but to accommodate my team who had no prior experience with Vue, I had to eventually use Bootstrap and Angular (although most of the angular work was done by the team using my bootstrap code).
