What we built

Capstone team of 4.

  • Built the capstone app around one idea: shop less often and without guilt by earning each purchase through tasks you already needed to do.
  • Let users save items to a wishlist straight from the Amazon app through the iOS share sheet.
  • Organized tasks into easy, medium, and difficult tiers that award points, and unlock a wishlist item with a "You've Earned It" screen that links back to buy it.
  • Grounded the design in user research, including user personas presented alongside the final demo.
