My favorite thing about design is that it’s never finished. There is always something to improve and update as the users’ needs change. That’s why I was so excited to redesign my first HiFi prototype after user testing. Let’s get right into it: Entry Point

Throughout the week, I interviewed six people and asked them to interact with my prototype. The study aimed to use concept testing to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a location-based music discovery concept that uses time-based memory triggers. Methods & Approach I used Zoom to conduct the interviews and…

I am very excited to move to this next step where I will be testing my prototype with my potential users and gain some valaulbe insights to iterate on later. So this past week I worked on some researches questions, and with the help from my amazing thesis advisor, we…

After playing with lo-fi wireframes and testing my concepts, I finally created my first high-fidelity prototype and ended up designing three different versions. I want to walk you through how I got there. You can also interact with the prototype by clicking here. I initially came up with this initial…

One of my advisor’s concerns is building this idea on the assumption that I haven’t validated yet. I currently assume that songs we discover will make us remember the bits of memories we had on that day as they will help us connect the dots when we hear them a…

I met with my advisor and we discussed the ideas I came up with. She really liked the second idea, which was about getting a random song from a person around you with one button and seeing how far away this person is. It adds a little bit of playfulness…

During the meeting I had with my advisor, we discussed how we could refine my mission statement to capture the essence of my product idea. I decided to remove fun and social and keep playful (as playful is also fun) and memorable. I decided to go with memorable because it…

Make music discovery fun, playful, and social. This week’s assignment was to develop a mission statement for my product. Since I have never written a mission statement before, I decided to dive into the internet, see some examples and learn how to write one. Missions statements are often concise, precise…

This past week I have been thinking about different mediums to develop my idea into a functional MVP. Augmented Reality is a suitable medium for my idea regarding novelty and phone-free aspects of it. However, it may be a little invasive, especially when you need to stare at someone when…
