I was not directly responsible for prototype design in this project but I collaborated as a researcher, feeding insights into stories that would be in the design pipeline each week - also supporting in UX revisions and UX writing.

We ran 76 test divided into 4 different rounds between lo-fi and hi-fi, using an Invision clickable prototype for both moderated and unmoderated remote testing sessions. While validating the UX, our aim was to:

• Assess elements of usability.
• Assess comprehension and desirability of the different value propositions.
• Validate the ‘must-have’ experiences for MVP V1.
