Process
Comparative Analysis
The first step was to research and evaluate the competition. I compared competitors websites for usability and main features, and conducted a heuristic evaluation.
User Survey
A survey was created, the questions targeted potential needs and goals. I also conducted phone interviews with five of the survey participants to learn more about their habits when it comes to buying interior decoration and furniture.
Creating Personas
Based on customer goals and behaviors, four different personas were created to help guide design decisions
User Journeys / Stories
Using the personas profiles, I imagined different goals to understand what the whole experience would be for them. This gave powerful insights on what could be helpful or frustrating in the app design.
Site Map
Prototyping
I sketched multiple design options based on data collected during the research process.
Wireframes
Based on the sketches developed, I prepared low-quality wireframes and conducted prototype usability tests with several users.
Last Steps
- Modifications, based on testing results, were made to the UX and UI design.
- The last step was to prepare high-fi files and notes.
Final Results
Identity and Digital Branding
Desktop App - UX/UI
