The objective of this project was to brainstorm and generate ideas for an app Inquest was developing that would allow people to generate and participate in challenges while providing a secure method of verifying their participation and sending rewards.
My role in this project consisted of creating wireframes based on discussions I had with Inquest CEO Dan Brown to develop the concept for the app and website associated with this project.

Deliverables: Wireframes
Throughout the last few decades, people have engaged in challenges for different purposes, such as to raise money for a good cause (e.g. ALS waterbucket challenge) or just for amusement (e.g. Mannequin challenge).
The purpose of this app is to facilitate a secure way for individuals or organizations to create those challenges and challenge other people, as well as to verify their completion of said challenges and provide a secure way of distributing rewards.
Since the main purpose of the app is to create and complete challenges, I started by engaging in discussions with my supervisor about the type of features and details that would need to be included in the app, which are listed as follows:
I started out by sketching a couple of frames depicting the process of creating a challenge from the perspective of the user. The process is visually depicted in the images below:
After I showed the previous wireframes to my supervisor, they provided him a better idea of what he wanted to be included in the app and the type of functionality he wanted to see, which is why I revised the wireframes made earlier to better reflect the added features my supervisor wanted to see. The updated frames are seen below, with the updates pointed out:
With the new changes in place, my supervisor then asked me to create a sample walkthrough of how a user would use the app to create a challenge, so I created the following wireframes to illustrate creating a challenge called "Small Business Spree!":
After fleshing out the details of the "creating a challenge" function, my next step was to brainstorm some more ideas to develop the "completing a challenge" and profile features:
Additionally, my supervisor also asked me to sketch out some ideas for a website version of the app, which are depicted below:
