SkillSwap:
Democratizing Learning
The Challenge
Traditional education is expensive, and online courses can be lonely. People want to learn new skills but often lack the funds or the community support to keep going.
The Solution
A barter-based platform where skills are the currency. Learn guitar by teaching coding. No money changes hands, just knowledge and good vibes.
The Double Diamond Process
Discover
User interviews, market research, and identifying the core problem.
Define
Creating personas, user stories, and defining the MVP scope.
Develop
Wireframing, prototyping, and iterating on the UI/UX.
Deliver
Final high-fidelity designs, development, and testing.
