THE PROBLEM
There is a lack of transition resources for the Transgender community
There is an absence of a dedicated resource that restricts transgender individuals from easily documenting and monitoring their transition progress as well as accessing relevant information. There is a need for a tool that addresses these issues and empowers transgender individuals to navigate their transition with confidence, knowledge, and a sense of belonging.

WHAT I’VE LEARNED
Working on this app has allowed me to understand the importance of accessibility standards in design. Throughout the entire process, I kept in mind all the intensive research and the needs of users, as well as ADA design standards. I also improved my interviewing skills as well as learning to set aside assumptions and base my solution on facts and experiences from within the community.
