London Trash
London Trash is a web application designed to simplify the business of putting out the garbage.
Built as part of a two day hackathon in collaboration with the local Open Data community, and hosted by UnLondon in their UnLab hacker space at the University of Western Ontario Campus, the app enables users to easily determine their households collection schedule, set up reminders, and access city information on waste collection.
As part of the development and design team I worked on creating the overall design aesthetic, developing user personas, wire-framed layouts and user flow, and implemented the resulting decisions in concert with the development team.
