Mentored Project: Phase 1 Brief & Research

For this phase, under the guidance of Justin (creative director), Ariel (UX  design lead) and Jolanta (design manager), I completed my brief, set milestones and collected research to put them into a presentation. I learned that the creative process is both different and the same as I expected. At first, when I presented my findings, I was told that I had too much information, which was a relief, as I was afraid that I didn’t have enough! I was afraid of disappointing them, which is why I felt the need to put everything I found onto the slides. It was challenging to condense all that information into very few slides but it was way better than having nearly 20 slides of content. They told me how to properly format and present my research so that it could take listeners on a journey. It felt great to get input from industry professionals such as the We the Collective mentor team and it was rewarding getting to hear feedback on my hard work. I would give myself a 9 for this phase.
