The app in question was designed as a fair prototype. I took this opportunity to suggest  an app redesign focusing on controls usability.  I tackled three main areas - focus on app functionality and hide the auxiliary information behind info buttons; make a clear distinction between action buttons; and finally, use proper controls for corresponding actions. e.g. to activate/deactivate a functionality, a toggle is the correct control (as an opposite to a button). Also, I have laid a focus on structuring and grouping input fields.

Despite a live long passion for art and creative expression, I by no means consider myself a skilled UI/UX designer. My goal was to learn the Figma basic tooling and implement the learned material.

During day to day collaboration with the UX designer on our team, I have learned, that grasping the concept of reusable components seems to be the most challenging part for the UX designer without the computer science background. But as a person, who have spent a significant amount of time working with frameworks like Vue.js or Ruby on Rails or Phoenix I can hardly imagine the design process without them. Having familiarized myself with Figma basics, from designer perspective, have made my day-to-day work as a developer much easier.
