The Problem

We all know the world has a waste problem. Everything we buy has to end up somewhere, right? And yet single-use consumerism and fast fashion has led us to become frenzied over the latest “must-have” styles and trends. So what can we do to help reduce fashion waste?

Insights from Usability testing - Round 1

Participants: 3 international students


Prototype used: Medium Fidelity

  • They liked the idea of find a buddy feature.

  • There were issues in user flow when we asked them to select a date and edit event in calendar.

  • An option to add a new event to the calendar was needed on the home page rather than inside the calendar feature.

Reflection
This was a project in which we had to follow Lean UX process. It was interesting to learn about fashion industry and its dark secrets. 


Next Steps
Design is never finished, so my next steps would be:
  1. Conducting more usability tests
  2. Design interfaces for donations page
