User research
Findings &Insights
To get a deeper understanding of the problem space and user's experience, I conducted 10 structured interviews. Additionally, 32 individuals completed a survey.
Usability testing
Fndings & Iterations
I conduct usability testing with multiple user and incorporate the insights into my design. Here are the big changes that were made.
Some users find the inclusion of artwork and opinions within the community confusing, leading to a need for clarification and refinement.
To enhance clarity and user experience, we have divided the community section into two distinct tabs: "Featured Projects" and "Opinions." This separation allows users to navigate seamlessly between the two categories and better understand the content they encounter
Users have expressed concerns about the extensive confirmation process involved in selecting a suggested time after accepting a collaboration request
When users accept an invitation to collaborate, they will seamlessly transition to a dedicated dialog box. This dialog box serves as a convenient space for both parties to confirm the details of their first meeting and engage in real-time conversation.
Reflecting on the
Project Process
The journey has been filled with challenges, ups, and downs, but it has been a tremendous learning experience. Throughout this process, I have gained invaluable insights that have shaped my understanding and approach
Incorporating Incentives and Business Aspects
In order for my platform to thrive, I must carefully consider what will attract users and what they can gain from it. This entails exploring incentives, such as rewards or recognition, and devising a business model that ensures sustainability.
Empathy with the Users
sBy taking the time to empathize with their motivations and pain points, I can make the product more human-friendly and truly target their needs, rather than resorting to generic solutions. The absence of crucial details in my previous version, such as where the project originated from, highlighted the gaps in my understanding.
