Proton UI/UX Design Internship

Designing user onboarding flow & overall user interface.

UI/UX—Wireframing, Rapid Prototyping, User Testing; Product Design
Retaining users is an application's biggest challenge. If the app is too non-intuitive, users are more likely to quit before discovering the inherent value add.

What is Proton?
Proton is a web design application, similar to Figma, that allows users to export fully functional mobile prototypes perfect for beta-testing.

Proton's goal was to create something simple and powerful. From early ideas to pixel-perfect artwork—we wanted our users to create playable prototypes as quickly as possible.
Role
Working cross-functionally with product and engineering, I created the following end-to-end experiences and interfaces:
Creating an intuitive onboarding flow is the most effective way to enable users to hit the ground running.
Primary Project
User Onboarding 📝
My primary internship project was to create an entire, end-to-end, user onboarding experience. The feature is designed to aid understanding of the app's most prominent features while also enabling the user to create prototypes.
The onboarding process walks users on how all features interact with each other as you go through the linear process of building a simple app and exporting it into an interactive mobile prototype.
User Empathy

After interviewing and communicating with our cross-functional engineering and product design team, I evaluated all existing paradigms and available features to synthesize the information into easy, actionable steps. Centered on providing an engaging, hands-on experience, I designed the onboarding flow to be as empathetic and transparent as possible.
Ideation & Brainstorming
‍‍

I grouped the vital features after experimenting and comparing different flows to narrow on which linear proces made the most sense.

Secondary Project
API Endpoints UI
My secondary project was to create a user interface to add and connect API endpoints, and compiling them into a sleek, minimal database.
I wanted to easily nail down the features that were most applicable when configuring API endpoints.
