Usability study
I conducted two rounds of usability studies. The insights gathered from the first study played a pivotal role
in refining the transition from wireframes to mockups. Building on these enhancements, the second study utilized
a high-fidelity prototype, revealing nuanced aspects of the mockups that required further refinement for
an optimized user experience.
