Working within constraints
The biggest challenge for this project was working within the constraints of the existing app. We had a limited amount of time to get the designs polished and make updates to the codebase before the first conference, which meant I had to make as few changes as possible to the functionality and flow of the app.

Final designs
Given the constraints of the project, I focused my attention on the details of each screen to make interaction feel intuitive.
UI changes- Changed the buttons on the donation page to white on gray and added a dropshadow to signify clickability
- Simplified the donation directive from “How much would you like to donate?” to “Make A Donation” to lighten cognitive load
- Changed the visual weight of elements to improve hierarchy
- Updated the anonymous donation screen to utilize more appropriate UI controls
- Changed the layout of various screens to maximize screen real estate and accommodate for the on screen keyboard
- Added color to further signify interactivity and strengthen brand expression
