Virtual Kiosk Concept

An internship project concept for a virtual kiosk giving citizens digital access to government services — Figma wireframes through Android Studio prototyping.

Technology stack

  • Figma
  • Android Studio
  • Java
  • Interface design

My role

Contributed to the concept as an intern within a team at the Ministry of Digital Transformation — this was internship team work, not an independent personal project. I assisted with Figma wireframes and Android Studio prototyping.

Key features

  • Figma wireframes mapping the citizen-facing service flows
  • Android Studio prototype of the kiosk interface
  • Interface planning for digital access to government services
  • Designed for accessibility to non-technical users

Overview

During my internship at the Ministry of Digital Transformation, I contributed to a virtual kiosk concept: a touch-first interface intended to give citizens access to digital government services from physical kiosk locations. My contribution was made as part of an internship team — the concept, direction and ownership belong to the Ministry.

The problem

Not every citizen has reliable internet access or comfort with government web portals. Physical kiosks running a purpose-built, simplified interface can bridge that gap — but only if the interface is genuinely simpler than the websites it replaces.

My role

As an intern I assisted the team with:

  • Figma wireframes for citizen-facing service flows
  • Android Studio prototyping of the kiosk interface
  • Interface planning discussions around service access

Decisions and trade-offs

  • Wireframes before code: iterating in Figma was far cheaper than iterating in Android Studio, so screens were only prototyped once flows were agreed.
  • Kiosk-first constraints: large tap targets, minimal text entry and linear flows shaped every screen — assumptions that hold for kiosks but not general mobile apps.

Lessons learned

This project taught me how much design work happens before any code: understanding the service, mapping the workflow, and testing whether a person with no context can complete a task. It was also my first experience contributing within a government team’s review and approval process.

Status

This remains a concept/prototype from the internship period. There is no public repository or demo, as the work belongs to the Ministry of Digital Transformation.

Technical challenges

  • Designing flows simple enough for citizens with any level of digital literacy
  • Translating service workflows into clear screen-by-screen wireframes
  • Working within the constraints and review processes of a government project

What I learned

  • How service design differs from app design — the workflow comes first
  • Prototyping fidelity — knowing when wireframes beat working code
  • Collaborating within a government team environment
