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.
