Takeaways 📣

This project was a great experience. I enjoyed gaining experience working with a desktop application dedicated for remote teams. Working in a remote setting can be lonely at times, so having a platform that provides that sense of an office environment with your coworkers is comforting. I am grateful for my teammates, we learned a lot from each other and collaborated with ease. Having only previously worked on mobile applications, made me feel nervous at first. It was a challenge to start with a blank canvas and create a design for a professional virtual office space, but having a supportive team and constantly referencing our research made it a great learning experience. I hope to continue developing my skills as a designer with new challenges and different platforms.
