Impact

For People with disabilities, it will be a tool to support them virtually, in person, or receiving donations. This app will allow them to feel better knowing that there’re a lot of people who want to help.

Volunteers can use their free time to help in a secure platform and to compete with their friends earning points each time that they help.

What I learned

Each one interprets the world in their way, so as a UX Designer I need to focus in find solutions that help most people being equitable.
