Challenges Feature & Component Libary

In this project, I focused on developing and testing a new feature within the Holi app, designed to enhance user engagement and support for nonprofit organizations. This feature aimed to facilitate easier access to volunteering opportunities, connect users with causes they care about, and provide a more tailored experience on the platform.

Development of an Interactive Tool for Asynchronous Collaboration in Target Group Analysis

This project focused on creating an interactive tool to facilitate asynchronous collaboration between users and facilitators within the context of target audience analysis. The design was guided by principles from Ability-Based Design (ABD), which helped ensure the tool aligned with users’ actual abilities, minimizing incorrect assumptions. Using a mixed-methods approach, we researched the primary challenges within target audience analysis and developed a structured overview, which highlighted critical barriers such as identifying and involving the target audience, limited time and financial resources, and user motivation. The lack of direct ABD findings led us to reframe these challenges in terms of ABD principles to address the initial research question.

How I Developed the Design System

During my ten-week internship at the Department of Platform and Cloud Solutions, I gained valuable insights into the development structures and processes of new software systems. My work focused on integrating UX/UI into ongoing processes, working in an Agile Scrum environment, fostering teamwork, and conducting interviews, workshops, and research.
