To improve a mobile app...

I chose STEAM, a reputable marketplace for desktop games, and challenged myself to create a mobile interface to elevate the user experience. My challenge was to bring forth an exciting way to complement an existing brand through cleanup of bad features, as well as innovating new ones.

The old STEAM app was notoriously difficult to message friends with, as well as clunky overall due to a direct import of their website. My app dedicates itself to optimizing userflows while updating the aesthetics to a modern look and feel. Inspired by the layout of Spotify, I created paper prototypes and then translated the designs digitally after receiving feedback from the class. In the final digital prototype, my design cleans up the game browsing and buying experience, while adding an entirely new feature: remotely managing your desktop downloads.
