Overview

Scholly is a college scholarship app that matches students with scholarship opportunities based on personal data from the individual user. Working as a UX/UI Designer, I am responsible for the delivery of efficient and thoughtful experiences throughout the redesign of Scholly's scholarship matching. My team consisted of UX Designers and Content Strategists, in collaboration with Developers, Products Owners, and the Marketing team to balance user needs, business goals, and legal requirements. All while creating and maintaining a new holistic design system. This project is still in progress of launching in phases and is expected to fully launch late 2022

Major Projects

Workflow

I work in a cross-functional agile team and I am in charge of concepting the scholly app redesign experiences, alongside 2 UX Designers and a content strategist. The 4 of us take care of projects starting with requirement gathering, to designing alternatives and prototyping. We work with Product Owners, Development team, and Marketing managers for delivering. My specialty on the team is concepting user flows from a holistic view of the entire app, giving design specs to developers and reviewing their work.
