As the sole UI/UX designer and front-end developer, I led a team with a back-end developer on "Staple," a web portal for farmers, conducting research, creating wireframes and prototypes, and delivering a functional portal with search and contact features.
I developed the front-end, designed the UI, created wireframes, and conducted research. Worked with a back-end developer, delivering a user-friendly web portal for farmers to access medicinal rice info and cultivation guidance, with search functionality and database storage.
I delivered user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and a fully functional UI for the web-based portal for farmers. I also created a design system and conducted actual research by visiting lab centers and interacting with professionals and farmers.
