PINCH

Categories: UX/UI, prototyping, micro-interaction
PROBLEM
Create an app prototype that demonstrates how to learn a new activity while utilizing micro interactions to engage the user.
CHALLENGE
If you love Chinese dumplings, eating them is great but making them may seem like a monumental task. It’s not as hard as you may think and it can be a fun communal experience.
SOLUTION
Utilizing the prototype tool Principal, I was instructed to create a how-to app with small micro-interactions. I created an app with extensive step-by-step directions guiding the user how to make homemade Chinese dumplings from scratch. The pay-off for the micro-interaction is at the end, once you're ready to cook.
