The key objective here is to make Whot Legends:
But then why Whot? Well, why not?
It is a simple game to learn and play. It has become a popular pastime for many Nigerians and is a mainstay of the country's culture. Young people tend to play it with enthusiasm, sometimes integrating gambling and conversation as a form of entertaining themselves even further.
Whot card game
The majority of Nigerian youths are familiar with the card game, and it is likely that a significant proportion of them have played it or watched others do so. Estimates have suggested that 8 out of 10 Nigerian youths know the game, while five have played or viewed matches.
I led and executed the design process, collaborated with an Illustrator on creating the mascot character, and oversaw the development of the minimum viable product.
As part of that project, I aimed to transform my ideas into tangible, testable products quickly. I provided room for iteration and improvement before investing significant time and resources into the final product. Design thinking is beneficial in this regard, as it is a process that approaches complex problems from the user's perspective and prioritises the rapid transformation of ideas into tangible products for testing.

As a human-centred designer, I understood the users' frustrations and needs. I achieved this through user research and interviews with people who fit into my user persona. Based on my findings, I analysed and defined the problem statement, found loopholes and explored novel/existing ideas till I arrived at a solution. After that, I visualised my ideas by mapping a user journey and sketching unique concepts for the interface.
