Strybuc Industries

To build Strybuc’s mobile application effectively, it was crucial for me to deeply understand the business requirements from the very beginning. I documented every detail during discovery calls — from technical constraints to workflow needs and user expectations — ensuring no requirement was overlooked. As the project manager, I provided weekly and sometimes daily updates to keep the client aligned with progress and upcoming milestones.

To deliver on time and with accuracy, I created clear user stories and a detailed project timeline, allowing me to track dependencies, manage development phases, and ensure every task stayed on schedule.

A mobile app must guide users toward a clear end goal—and for Strybuc Industries, that goal centered around solving one core pain point: customers struggled to submit clear, accurate photos of their parts. This issue directly impacted the sales team’s ability to identify items and recommend the correct Strybuc replacements.

One of the most critical sections of the new app is “Photograph Parts,” a feature designed to let users capture images of their existing window and door hardware. These photos go directly to a dedicated sales representative, who then provides product recommendations or compatible replacements from the Strybuc catalog.

To address the original problem, the redesigned app needed to:

• Enable users to take high-quality, well-lit photos
• Capture measurements and dimensions directly in the app
• Create a seamless flow from capturing images → reviewing → sending
• Ensure that the sales team receives clean, usable information every time
• Allow both guest users and logged-in users to follow differing but intuitive paths
• Maintain a fast, guided, low-friction experience across iOS and Android

Creating a detailed user flow was essential. By mapping every step—from pressing the camera button to sending the request—I ensured that the experience remained simple, predictable, and aligned with Strybuc’s operational needs. This user flow became the backbone of the mobile application’s design and functionality, ensuring that both customer experience and sales team efficiency dramatically improved.

Creating the first prototype for the Photograph Parts feature quickly revealed one of the biggest challenges of the entire project. Because this tool relied on augmented reality to capture precise measurements, the design itself wasn’t the only concern—the success of the feature depended heavily on technical accuracy in development. The camera needed to understand depth, distance, and positioning to generate reliable measurements from one point to another. As I iterated through the prototype, I realized that even small UI decisions directly impacted how the AR logic behaved. This required continuous back-and-forth with the development team overseas, reviewing builds after hours, troubleshooting measurement inconsistencies, and aligning the business goals with the realities of AR technology. Through close collaboration, rapid prototyping, and constant communication, we were able to refine both the user experience and the measurement accuracy to create a seamless flow from the customer’s camera to the sales representative.

Submitting the application to both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store introduced an entirely new layer of complexity, as each platform comes with its own strict requirements, review guidelines, and technical constraints. Beyond designing the app itself, I also managed the operational steps required to prepare the app for public release. This included coordinating with the client to set up and verify their Apple Developer Program and Google Play Console accounts, managing permissions, and ensuring the correct legal and business information was in place.

Apple and Google each require a full set of store assets—such as listing images, screenshots, app icons, and promotional graphics—each with different dimension requirements, file formats, and device-framing guidelines. I designed all of these assets from scratch, ensuring they aligned with brand standards while also meeting exact technical specifications such as 1284×2778 px for iPhone 14 Pro Max screenshots or 1242×2688 px for iPhone portrait formats. Android added additional variations due to its diverse device ecosystem, requiring multiple resolutions and layout adjustments.

The submission process also required preparing and validating builds for TestFlight (iOS) and internal testing tracks (Android), addressing platform-specific warnings or errors, configuring privacy labels, setting permissions for camera and photo library access, and completing required metadata such as age ratings, content classifications, and feature descriptions. Throughout the review process, I handled communication with Apple and Google when additional clarifications or changes were requested, making iterative adjustments to ensure compliance with their guidelines.

Because each store responds differently during review—Apple often performing a more manual, detailed evaluation and Google relying on automated compliance checks—I had to manage the timelines carefully and keep the client updated on approval statuses. Ultimately, successfully launching on both platforms required a blend of design precision, technical understanding, and detailed project coordination to ensure a smooth and timely publication for both iOS and Android users.
