Prototyping
A prototype is a model of the product or service that includes functional, structural, and graphical aspects of the design. It is created during the generation phase, after conducting research and defining the objectives and main aspects of the design.
In the theoretical realm of UX, there is no clear consensus on the differences and scope of concepts such as wireframe, mockup, low-fidelity prototype, and high-fidelity prototype. However, in the professional context, the importance of prototyping as a key process to materialize the value proposition and iterate the design and interaction until reaching an optimized final version is widely recognized.
The prototyping process is iterative and evolves from the initial low-fidelity proposals, which are still distant from the final design, to high-fidelity ones that define the characteristics the product or service should have when used by users. Prototyping alternates with evaluation in a continuous iteration process that progressively optimizes the design until achieving the proposal that will be developed.
Prototyping is executed in various phases, and the result obtained in each of them represents an increasing degree of “fidelity” (or approximation to the final design).

My experience
My journey with TOG began in November of 2019. I am a firm believer in the premise that the universe sends signals and places us in the positions we are meant to occupy. It was through this belief that I found this opportunity while pursuing my specialization in UX/UI. However, this company had the foresight to look beyond and recognize my potential to grow alongside them.
I feel immense gratitude for having the opportunity to participate in TOG’s projects, for allowing me to establish relationships with exceptional individuals, and for providing me with a chapter in my life that will remain indelible in my memory.
