    in designing apps for the gastronomy & food industries.

    Key responsibilities What does that mean?


    1. Sketching out visual concepts on both software and 1. Sketching out visual concepts

    where different elements of an app or website would
    be placed - e.g. headings, buttons, advertisement. 

    ! You could give examples that show you can visualise


    ideas - e.g., do you like to sketch or can you give
    examples of when you have created great
    presentations?
    2. Assist in planning, design and facilitation of user
    research 2. Assist in user research

    audiences and behaviours, or organising workshops,
