User Research

USER INTERVIEW - Clearify the user goal and user flow

I brought forward several functions for the app at the beginning. The user interviews help me to narrow down and clearify the real demands and needs that users have. That will be activity and community.

Design Process

PROJECT SCOPE - Activity and Community

The main focus of the project will be the activity and community function. 

Users can have access to all the detailed information of available activities in the activity center. Community function provides a space to share experiences and feedbacks of the activities and guide users to choose what they are interested in.  Besides of those features, an upcoming event shortcut helps users to track the booked events. 

The workflow down below shows the flexibility to move between the activity center and community. Users can have easy access to detailed information of events from community page. The first priority is to help users quickly, actually and interestingly find suitable events.
