Problem: We faced a tiered problem (1) collecting art is an expensive hobby, making quality art experiences less accessible for art enthusiast on a budget; and (2) more serious art collectors want a space to curate their own collections.
Research.
Interviews were conducted with 6 individuals, and the information gathered was used to create empathy maps, user personas, journeys + stories. Competitive audits and reports were created and the insights from that informed my initial designs that would eventually become the prototypes for my usability study.
Results showed that while personal confidence levels + attitudes varied, all interview participants preferred a home-cooked meal even if they weren’t the ones preparing the meal themselves. Most saw food as a way to connect with others and were open to taking a cooking class for fun. It was noted that allergy considerations should be incorporated into the design.
