Proto Persona
Creating a Proto Persona allows us to know the user group to target to start the research process.
Key takeaways:
-
The user wants to make more time for themselves
-
The users need guidance to help them with different wellness activities to do
-
The user wants a better work-life balance
Affinity Diagramming
The diagram showed us areas to work on and allow us to know what features users may look for in our application. Users get stressed when they have many to-dos’s throughout the day and can’t find time for themselves If the user can find time to take a break, they watch a show that doesn’t use much brain power

User Interviews - Insights
Our user group are people who always put 110% into everything they do Our user group often feels close to burnout due to everything they try to squeeze into their schedule Our user feels there is not enough time in the day to do what they want/need to get done, so mental wellness is not seen as a priority

Brainstorming
Using data from the user interviews, we made notes from the user's perspective outlining what they like, and what they wish, answering the question “what if” they had an app that does ____ This helped us to start to create an app with features users will want to see and use.

Storyboard
The storyboard helped us to understand our users experience with the application The storyboard is based off of the research we recorded during the interviews and conducting the survey
User Journey Map
This exercise helped us visualize when a user would need our application, when they would use it, and how it would fill their pain points The user journey map encouraged us to come up with opportunities for features that we could design for the application.
03 Prototyping
User Flow
Creating a user flow illustrates the potential paths the user could take while using the application. This tool allowed us to jump into creating wireframes and start the prototyping phase.
Information Architecture
This tool helped us to understand and visualize the main navigation of the application. This was created with the target user group in mind as it is kept short and simple, easy to understand, and has familiar navigations that the users would be familiar with.
