Evolving Tribute: Empowering Connections in the Workplace
As the Co-founder and VP of Product and Design at Tribute, I've helped evolve our employee-centric app, facilitating meaningful connections among colleagues to enhance their career journeys. From its inception as a mobile app to its current iteration as a versatile web, Slack, and Microsoft Teams application, Tribute has undergone a transformative journey. Through extensive research and iterative development, we've optimized the user experience to primarily exist within Slack and Microsoft Teams, leveraging these platforms to foster seamless collaboration and knowledge sharing.
