A Web-based Product for Wine Consumers
User research was conducted with the intention of designing a web-based product for people who enjoy drinking wine. My team is interested in finding out more about wine consumers and their needs.
User Research
Initally, we interviewed 9 prospective users of the tool. The conclusions of these interviews are presented in the form of personas and user scenarios as well as a prioritized features list. Read the initial research here.
In the second iteration of the research phase of this project, our research objective was to further define and prioritize the potential features of the product. We surveyed 79 people on their preferences regarding potential features of the product. Read this research here.
Mobile Application Prototype
Our team's end goal was to prototype a mobile application, following the standard User Centered Design process. The product that was being researched is named ListAssist and would help people to keep track of shopping lists with the ability to share the list with other ListAssist users.
