Project Description:

Our project deliverable was to create a mobile application for WildRoga, a female-led business that centers around yoga and wellness for BIPOC and underrepresented communities. The app will allow members to watch live stream classes, pre-recorded yoga videos, as well as engage in community content where members can comment on posts administered by our client. In parallel with the mobile app, our team developed a web-based administrative dashboard to serve as a tool for managing the app’s content as well as to enhance the instructors’ live streaming experience.

Our client, Ro Nwosu, is looking to expand her business by attracting new users who intend on using mobile devices as a primary viewing platform. Additionally, her intention is to create a safe and inclusive space to promote health and wellness within our community and beyond.

Our team, Hyacinth, is Sara Thomas (Team Lead), Naomi Gallupe (Design Lead), Stive Avendaño Zambrano (Technical Lead), Kelsey Harrison (Full-Stack Developer), Pavlo Ternytskyi (Full-Stack Developer), and Sevda Hasanli (UX/UI Designer and Researcher). Together, we are a group of motivated individuals with a variety of different skills and talents. Throughout this project we learned a broad range of skills; from professionally collaborating with a client to acquiring the essential information and resources needed to complete our deliverables. From a technical standpoint, our developers learned how to implement live streaming technology using MUX as well as how to implement a third-party payment system using Stripe.

In the first month, we established a roadmap along with the appropriate design tool (Figma) and development tools (Expo, Next.js, Firebase, Stripe, Mux, and Ecamm) needed for the project. Our developers conducted technical research by building a collection of POCs to ensure that our client would use the best possible streaming and payment options available given our time and resources limitation. Our designers conducted user and product research to analyze the market and collect visual references to base our initial designs on. This research amounted to the creation of the low fidelity paper prototypes. In the later months, we gathered insightful feedback from our client and professors in order to make the necessary changes that led to our medium fidelity prototypes. Following more guidance from our client and professors, our designers crafted a high fidelity prototype which served as a visual aid for our developers during the development phase. During this phase, our developers worked tirelessly to ensure all deliverables were met. This involved heavy collaboration with every team member to ensure that we could test and deliver the best possible product we could build.

This project is the sum of four months of hard work, collaboration and commitment to building the best product we could given the amount of time that we had. In many ways, this project has helped lay the groundwork for the beginning of our professional careers as we approach graduation. As a team, we are grateful for the opportunity to work on a project of this caliber. We’d like to thank our professors, Algonquin College, and our client Ro, for an amazing and unforgettable opportunity.
