My role was to design the screens of the App and website that were presented in the contest

I used my UX designer skills to create the UI of Mi Amigo Foraneo’s App and website, I also helped to create the following documents: Marketing, budgets, business plan, and Business model canvas

We managed to present our project Mi Amigo Foraneo App at the Latin American level where we stood out for reaching the finals stage being one of the 35 finalists. In this process, I dedicated myself to helping with the project’s research, documentation, and UX Design for its presentation
