Troo 

A social media mobile app.  

What's Troo? 

Troo is an ethical social media platform

• Troo protects people’s privacy and data
• Troo wants users to be very intentional with the information they share with others and with whom they decide to connect
• Troo wants the user to have multiple profiles that cater to particular aspects of a person’s life/focus

My Role:
I am one of the UX designers out of two. We have a UX researcher, product manager, project manager, and two developers.

Troo is still in its initial design and development stage.

Examples of sketches and lo-fi wireframes resulting from brainstorming sessions are demonstrated below before we started focusing on specific flows to test and iterate.
