Development and Learning

Freedom Fund App, 2016

This app is created for an audience of teens and parents. The app aims to enhance communication and reward good decision making by allowing both parties to set and agree upon goals and incentives.

The adolescent sets Goals that they would like to accomplish by earning tickets. The parent names Tasks that the teen can complete to earn ticket points. Both parties collaboratively pick a value of each Goal and Task.

This app was developed concept only (uncoded) in collaboration with classmates J. Connor, H. Ferguson, and A. Whitney. All images were designed by me.
