What This Document Is
This document is a milestone submission for CS 430: Introduction to Management at California Western School of Law. It details a UI/UX paper prototype designed for a Kiva application intended for use on flip phones, alongside explanations of data access and design justification. It was submitted by Scotty M Intondi to Professor David Buksbuam on August 6, 2023.
Why This Document Matters
This milestone is crucial for students in the UI/UX Design and Development course. It demonstrates their ability to apply user-centered design principles to a specific constraint – a flip phone interface – and to articulate design decisions based on user needs. It’s a key component of a larger project focused on the Kiva lending platform.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document represents a single stage in a design process. It’s a prototype and justification, not a fully functional application. It focuses on the initial design and data considerations and doesn’t include implementation details or user testing results.
What This Document Provides
The full document includes: a paper prototype for the Kiva app’s main screen, outlining navigation using a phone’s numpad; detailed descriptions of the “Request Loan,” “Loan Status,” “Loan Payback,” and “Profile Settings” sections; a discussion of data access methods; and a justification for the design choices based on borrower user stories and needs. It also lists the specific data elements (LOAN_ID, LOAN_NAME, etc.) considered for the application. This preview does *not* include visual representations of the prototype beyond what is described in the text.
