As If

For my final year project at university, I decided to build a digital closet iPhone application inspired by Clueless (1995). The objective is to be able to upload images of items in your closet, create outfits and save outfits.

This was the hardest individual project I have embarked on to date but also the most rewarding. I worked on this with guidance from my supervisor for the better part of an entire acaedmic year while writing my dissertation. I had no previous experience with mobile application development, just an idea and a desire to learn.

Firstly, I designed mockups of the application using Sketch before implementing anything. I decided to use Apple's native programming language because it makes the most sense since I am building a native iPhone application. Choosing between Swift and SwiftUI was difficult but ultimately, I chose Swift because it gave me more freedom.

Mockups of the login screen

Using Firebase as the backend, profile images and closet item images are stored in a storage bucket while email addresses and names are in a database. Authentication is done using Firebase Authentication.
