UX Design Project
In the beginning phase of the project, Richard Tran, Bihan Wang, and I conducted interviews, surveys, and created affinity diagrams to better understand our users. This allowed us to reframe the problem. Our biggest eureka moment? Grad students weren't short on organization and time management tools. In fact, they were overwhelmed with options, and perhaps needed a way to consolidate both their preferred apps and mandatory tools. This is a video presentation of our Phase I research methods and findings, synthesis, and action plan for next steps.
Project Brief: Research to Design
Moving into the next phase of the project, Pranati Rao joined our team with fresh eyes and design experience. In a collaborative design studio, held remotely and asynchronously, we sketched ideas and assessed their strengths and weaknesses to move forward in our quest to help grad students with their time management.
From our design studio, we moved into prototyping. From paper prototypes to lo-fi wireframes; we continued to iterate, usability test, explore existing options, and conduct heuristic evaluations to bring us to our final mobile hi-fi prototype which I created in Figma and iterated on based on team testing and feedback. If you have the FigmaMirror app (for iPhone and Android) on your phone, go to our Figma prototype here while having the app open on your device. Alternatively, you can click on the "play" button in the upper right hand corner of the Figma screen or watch a short walk-through here.
