Executive Summary

In June of 2023, I worked alongside two classmates to create an application prototype, Mountain Mentor. The duration of the project was two weeks. Our idea was to create an application that would help users who were planning trips connect with guides, maps, and information about the places they were wanting to go and the excursions they wanted to do. We completed research, user interviews, and created a prototype in Figma based off our findings.
