• Set up a Figma Team for future design work
• Created a Trellow Workspace for task management

Client Kickoff Meeting
In the kickoff meeting the team engaged with the client to discuss and lock in the following goals & tasks for the first design sprint.
Sprint 0: Research potential market opportunities for Flikshop Mail to expand its userbase beyond incarcerated individuals with a focus towards elderly and military demographics (as suggested by the client).
•
Conduct competitive analysis against other similar companies offering prison communications & mailing services to understand Flikshop's current market positioning and potential opportunities for expansion.
•
Create and conduct market research surveys for elderly and military demographics to guage their respective growth potential
•
Conduct further interviews with internal Flikshop stakeholders (past & present) to better understand the Flikshop brand and mission
Additionally, because we used a default Google Slide template for this first client presentation, I decided to design some bespokely tailored slide templates .
