Flick is an app designed to alleviate the time sink that comes along with selecting a movie/show to watch on a streaming platform. We all have shortened attention spans due to social media, and picking out a movie can be time consuming for indecisive people. So why not have the process replicate how we scroll through social media?
Focusing on the process
The team and I focused a lot on validating our design decisions through interacting with our users (interviews, focus groups, usability studies).

Usability tests were conducted on the lo-fi screens to determine which features had unclear functions. The play button from the lo-fi did not convey its purpose of displaying the movie details, and was changed to an "info" icon.
