Project A

The client came to Method for a multi-phased redesign project of a social network concept with gaming dynamics in mind. I was involved in the latter phases of the project for more than 4 months. The major task during my involvement was designing a few new web applications, as well as redesigning a large number of applications with a systemic consideration.
