UX CASE STUDY
Shhh. . . It's a top secret!
I've been working on a confidential Canadian nationwide project. While I cannot publish it due to signing a non-disclosure agreement, the lessons I learned and my high-level overview are well worth sharing.
UX PROCESS
Focusing on figuring out the real problem to solve is the core of my UX process.
From research to testing the prototypes, I always aim to focus on a user-centric approach through iterative sprints. Working collaboratively allows me to discover the most suitable principles for each project, and I'm flexible enough to adapt the UX process when the project calls for it.

We need to ask the right question to reveal the answer."
