Using Figma, I designed the User Interface following the App’s Requirements as a starting point for the Web App “Music Of The Stars” from the project BREAKStarS by Porto’s Planetarium. It was also my role to design animations to be used inside the app. Throughout this time I had scrum meetings with the project’s engineer and the head of the project, and communicate with the client, either by e-mail, or by occasional meetings..
