During COVID19 Pandemic 2020, Australia announced locked down from mid-March. On that very same day, out of curiosity, I ran a search to find out that there isn't any well designed digital product out there to help those in need of support during this sudden change. One day I came across "The Good Neighbour" Facebook group thinking maybe I can offer some help. Lisa who set up the Facebook page has put a call out for ideas input to help people. I immediately pm'd Lisa: "Lisa, I can help you build a prototype in 4 days" I said.
Over night, we had a Slack channel with 30 volunteers. Within a week, we had about 60+ volunteers. 3 days later, "One Another Community" 1st prototype was born, the rest is history. My responsibilities are:
- Managed 1-10 creative between product and brand
- Create and Built prototypes
- MVP strategies
- Brought in a team to support Product (UX, UX writers, Research, UI)
- Drive creative direction for the brand
- Created guidelines so that our volunteers have a focal point -
