[ Design solutions ]

We started by researching the problem, conducting competitor analysis, and understanding user needs.

This research phase helped us gain insight into what users are looking for and gave us a better idea of how to approach design.

Additionally, we analyzed the competition to see what works and what doesn’t, allowing us to make informed decisions about which design elements to prioritize and which ones to avoid. With this information in hand, we began to craft a design strategy to create meaningful user experiences.

We aimed to create an intuitive app design that provides a great user experience. By focusing on intuitive design, we created an experience that allowed users to quickly find what they needed and keep them engaged with our keyboard.
