Moon & Back was made with myself & another amazing student in 24 hours as a response to a Protothon challenge. We worked collaboratively together in each phase. Our personal deliverables includes: User interviews & Surveys, user journey, prototyping main features and a wholesome flirty presentation to suit Valentines Day . Our goal was to have grounded user research supporting the project, have 3 professional designers in the field provide critique, high fidelity prototype. We personally reached out other UX/UI professionals that work at Facebook to make this project the best it can be.
Through interviews and our survey (23 respondents) identified these three main pain points. The below are the effective methods couples are using.
Provide long distance couples privacy & their own personal space to define their own intimacy
Motivate long-distance couples to connect and resolve their miscommunication
Design fun & Interactive game/activities to bring more excitement & freshness
Personalized service of features need to be included for couples to express
their loves or affections, as some couples do have trouble expression affection.

The difficulties we faced was deciding which problem we'd like to focus on solving. We realized that one of main issues was having one spot to communicate and not be scattered between multiple platforms. We received a lot of critiques on how may we present this application and how our solution was fairing. Our application worked to solve a list of needs that would need to be developed in detail. Overall, it showed the benefits of working with an individual with the same energy and passion matched with my own.
