Cranberry was the final project for the Innovator’s Practice course which focused on user-centered design and design thinking principles for product development. Developed with a five person multi-disciplinary team, Cranberry addresses user challenges when collaborating with remote teams across different time zones. The design process included defining the user problem we wanted to solve for, conducting design research to refine our understanding of the problem, ideation, and prototyping. Cranberry helps remote teams communicate and collaborate across time zones in a simple, intuitive, and fun way.
