app design strategies


Expanded from the Taco hunter idea to be broadened and geared toward a Spanish native away from home. Can be for tourists, new-to-towners, or just people interested in getting more into their culture. Will be offered in English and Spanish language. This could be a gateway app and if it goes well it could be branched out for other cultures, non-English native.
