Problem statement

The digital world holds a bunch of resources for us to consume. The resources (articles, videos, etc) we store across multiple lists in the computer seem like the digital equivalent to endless piles of folders over our desks. While we hopefully keep up and digest the information, we also face another challenge of finding our resources effectively.

User Interviews & Survey

I made a survey and sent out via online community such as Facebook and Slack to gather some feedback. I targeted people who are around 24 to 35 age group. Some work in full/part time.

… Basically I have so many lists…

I was recently fortunate to be able to participate in an intensive product design course which was generously offered by Jasmine Friedl and Tanner Christensen. Through the course, I and the other participants received extensive feedback from the course facilitators and other designers, and I have applied that feedback to this case study of a prototype todo app.

Todo apps are widely used, but different users use the apps differently depending on their particular needs. In order to identify the problems faced by users of todo apps, I conducted research to develop an understanding of the market and users’ needs.

You can see the prototype here or the all the slides.

Design both mobile and web applications that help users continue learning based on their choices, interest, and time. Users can save content, keep records of what they learn, and schedule reminders for themselves…

Good Market is one of my learning projects on my way of exploring UI/UX as a beginner. Without further ado, here are some briefs.

Test Objectives: I created a high-fidelity prototype of Good Market online grocery shopping site and wanted to find out how users/testers use this website and if they are able to complete small tasks assigned.

Methodologies: Two ways: 1. On-site testing (Using the inVision) & 2. remote testing and with a questionnaire preapred from typeform 3. Online user testing such as usabilityhub and verifyapp.

Usability goals are to find out A. if the user finds it convenient…
