An easy, platform-independent way to collect photos and videos from friends
Photodrop is a web app concept I worked on for the Google UX Design Certificate Program. Its goal is to make the process of collecting event photos and videos from guests, family, and friends as easy and hassle-free as possible.
Through working on this project, I learned about designing for accessibility, responsive web design, and using new tools such as Adobe XD. Using Adobe XD, I created interactive prototypes that demonstrate how to collect event photos and videos in a user-friendly and accessible way.
One of the most significant takeaways from this project was learning how to design for the elderly. By testing my mobile prototype with people between the ages of 64-70, I gained insights into strategies to make my design more accessible to older users.

Weddings and birthdays are special moments that we want to remember forever, but collecting photos and videos from guests can be a disorganized and time-consuming experience. Asking guests to add their photos to a Google Photos or Dropbox album isn’t always easy and some people might not want to participate, due to technical difficulties, unclear instructions and privacy concerns.
For this project, I wanted to design a simple solution for collecting event photos and videos from guests that’s user-friendly and accessible for everyone.
Read Case Study → Launch PrototypeOne of the focal points for this project was designing a simple sign-up sequence for the event hosts. The design allows event hosts to easily create an account, select a cloud syncing option, and manage access controls for sharing the photo gallery.
Attendees of big events can vary greatly in their ability to engage with technology. It was important for me to identify potential pain points that could prevent guests from participating in the collaboration process. By prioritizing a simple interface, text readability, and clear instructions, I was able to create a design that addressed these issues and provided a user-friendly experience for all attendees.
