MY STORY
Can a prototype built in a day lead to an app that unlocks the imagination in over a million children around the world?
When my 8 year old sister Heather was struggling to tell a story with a mess of pens and paper I asked myself a question. Could the iPad help her?
This question led me and the CauseLabs team to create a prototype in a day that would help leverage the integrated software and hardware features of iPad to help empower emergent storytellers like Heather. Three months later, My Story - Book Maker for Kids landed in the App Store to the delight of Heather and hundreds of thousands of teachers around the world who were looking for just such a tool for their classrooms.
My role included product development, strategy, marketing, UI and UX design.
