Irrigreen, a tech-forward startup revolutionizing irrigation with real-time sensors and digital controls, approached Boxclever to deliver a refined app experience to match its premium brand. Collaborating closely with the CEO, we established aspirational design targets, applied customer-driven insights, and developed a streamlined dashboard through iterative prototyping.

As a recent graduate, I was exposed to the entire design process and aided in user research, wireframing, and iterative prototyping to refine the app experience. I contributed to usability testing, helping to identify friction points and streamline interactions, and engaged in the development of the Irrigreen design system.
