I was the UX and UI lead at groopy.
my job was to create a seamless user experience when come to create an activity, managing activity, and get analytics.
Background

We would like to rebuild Groopy using modern technologies, architecture, and methodologies. It will be cloud-based and will include native Android & iOS apps and a Responsive website.
