Role
I joined thisdotsoftware as a UX Design Intern in July 2020, and have continued to support efforts to build out the core app experience as well as improve the existing plug in experience in collaboration with the lead product designer.
Working cross-functionally with an international team I’ve never met before to build out designs for an e-commerce platform has proved to be an enormous learning experience.
How might Cheapskate be optimized to allow users to shop quickly at a fairer price, on any site?
No more endless scrolling.
Cheapskate is a service that provides coupons and deals specific to the site users are shopping on.
The Cheapskate browser plug-in is available for download on the Chrome store, which launched in conjunction with an influencer marketing campaign.
The Cheapskate plug-in automatically crawls the site you’re on to search for the best coupons and deals available, stress-free.
