SMART WATCH chat APP

Background 
Designed a companion app for an IoT customizable smartwatch from the ground up. Users wear this watch over their mittens while skiing or snowboarding. The key to making this project a success was to fully understand the hardware, its capabilities, and the user’s environment (slopes and mountains).

Business Goal 
The purpose of the project was for fundraising purposes in a top hardware accelerator.

Process and Role 
I worked with the founding team to understand the hardware, its capabilities, and how it will communicate with the app. I also went through surveys that the founding team had done in their initial pilot launch (which didn't have an app), that led them to conclude the app. This was used to define the must-have and nice-to-have features. 

Considering the limited amount of time until the investor pitch, I designed wireframes of the must-have features, which was followed with figuring out a visual identity. This was utilized to create the UI designs which was followed with creating a clickable prototype of the core features.
