Redesign of U-M GPT for Academic Focus

Connor Nolan

This was my first ever project created through Figma, and I believe I have come along since. In my intro to UX Design course, we were told to redesign a tool of our choice from University of Michigan's AI suite. I decided to redesign U-M GPT as its existing layout is rather dull and not engaging. I really honed in on making this tool more academically focused than ChatGPT itself, so I integrated a planner, dashboard with progress reports, and shortcuts to custom GPTs that are focused on prepping the user academically (Mock interviews, resume reviews, etc,.). Overall, while I look back now and see all the areas that need to be improved and some major UI/UX issues, I still am happy with what this project did for me and allowed me to design freely and it really helped me learn Figma basics. Below is the interactive prototype link if you are interested to check out my first project!
And here is the mobile version (notice how I didn't even take into account the camera on the phone! I have come a long way!)
