Hello Barnaby,
Here is my feed back on the just completed project. This has been a very rewarding experience for me working with ABC Academy of music. My tasks were very much in line with what I learned in the boot camp, needless to say that I was able to apply the knowledge and skills I acquired while in the bootcamp. It has tremendously helped me in shaping out what my future looks like in Cyber Security. Thanks for the opportunity. It was a very rewarding one.

My team and I gained a lot of experience from working on the Hinna Business Software website for ABC Academy of Music. We collaborated together and delivered a brand style guide for the company, as well as made platform concept iterations for Hinna. Throughout this journey, it helped us gain real-world experience and allowed the team and me to implement our design thinking within our time constraints of four weeks. I would like to thank our client, Barnaby Kerekes, for giving us such a wonderful opportunity to hone our design thinking as UI/UX designers.

It was fascinating working in this project with ABC Academy. I have learned about managing two brands working complementary one with another, making an excellent Synergy. This project helped me to remind about Brand managing principles, FB Ads management, Analytics, learn about Content Creation and Publications. This project was amazing in terms of researching resources for the Black History Month and its remarkable characters, most of them were music related.
