Skilligy App Design
Progressive web application design for Mobile & Desktop platform
Overview
Skilligy is a Skills platform based in India. The web application provides a way to explore local artists who have various arts & skills. For eg. Dancers / Choreographers / Paint artists / Craftsman etc. On this platform they get an opportunity to create a porfolio by adding videos / photos and then use this as a social media marketing to spread the word about their in-person classes / online classes / sessions / events / social posts etc. I worked on this as a freelancer UX designer. Worked on the intiatl user research, created prototypes in Sketch. This is still work in progress - Skilligy's development team would be starting development in May 2019.

Solution
The first step was to understand all the feature stories from Skilligy's backlog. The idea was to gain more undertanding about the requirement and then create a overall mapping of all the features. After this step - I started work on the screen flow concept by creating lo-fidelity wireframes in Sketch app.

After receiving feedback from users - started designing high-fidelity wireframes in Sketch app. Here is a screenshot of dashboard for multiple device screens, for eg - Mobile / Ipad / Desktop screens.
