Designed an iOS app using AdobeXD as a part of the AdobeXD Creative Jam Atlanta along with another UX Designer (Gayatri Gaekwad) within 3 hours. 

The prompt for the design was "Memory Box". We designed this app to help users explore a new neighborhood or city they visit by unlocking local historical stories (or "memories") once they reach specific locations around the area. The experience is not scripted and users can chart their own way through the area based on specific themes like food, music, and so on. 

To design this app within 3 hours, we split the work exactly half-and-half with both of us contributing to the ideation, flow, sketches, mockups, and prototyping.

First, we individually brainstormed ideas for 15 minutes. Then we shared, discussed, and converged on the idea to go ahead with. Some ideas that I came up with include an app to capture family stories over multiple generations, an app to dump thoughts while meditating, an app that is a personal diary with mood-based music (also suggests remedies if it detects you are depressed).

We narrowed on the concept of an app that allows location-based discovery of not-so-well-known but significant historic stories. These stories could be user-generated or be mapped from research data. The location we chose to demo was Auburn Avenue, a historic neighborhood in Atlanta, because we were familiar with its history.

We sketched the screen flow and created mockups based on a free UI kit .

Below are the screens that I worked on:

Then, we combined the screens in one AbodeXD file on my computer and worked together to create the clickable prototype.

At the end of 3 hours, we presented our idea and prototype to the judges and audience.
