Jeel Doshi - House2Home - Design sprint

In this Design sprint case study I Described my Journey of Designing House2Home app. The sprint is a five-day cycle involving design, prototyping, and evaluating solutions with users to address important market questions.

Design Sprint is basically 5 days Process.

Understanding / Defining / Mapping
Sketch
Decide
Prototyping
Testing

Understanding/ Defining/ Mapping

First day is a sequence of organised discussions for the sprint week to create a base and a concentration. So i start with Defining problems and then researching about users problem.

To find what actually they face i did user interview and asked them following questions:

Which Parameters matter while decorating home?
How often do you decorate your room?
How do you decorate your home?

I created below user persona to know their insights:

Problems( Key points ) :

Budget issue for some users.
Some users don’t know exactly what kind of decor they want.
Some users need guidance for Decor.

Sketch

The second day is all about overcoming the question, using a deep analysis. approach that is optimised. From above Searches I created one site map also:

After creating site map i made sketches :

Decide

I’ll have a stack of options by the next morning. I would now determine which of those drawings should be prototyped and evaluated.

Solutions:

1. Users want one guide for decoration so we can provide a feature called ask expert.
2. They want to check out first how they can visualize whether their choice is right or not so they can visualize features where they can upload images of area where they want good decor and according to area options will be shown.
3. Showing Tentative prices or range for product .
4. Search will be there for other findings like any decor item, Room decor.

Prototyping

Testing

For User testing i go for the people who moved to another apartment / hostels/ new house for prototype testing. I spent 20 mins with each participant and ask them to perform following tasks:

1. How user can check for interior if they know what they want?

2. How user can visualize interior they selected is perfect for their room or not?

3. How user can search for interior when he/she don’t know what excatly he/she wants?

4. How one can connect any designer?

Recommendations:

• Add user login/profile.

• Add options like wishlist/ bucket.

Working on a sprint alone was always difficult, but it allowed me to adapt quickly and follow my instincts. I’ve discovered how important user feedback is. I have realized that good design doesn’t seem to be complicated, and that many of the prototypes I’ve seen can be modified to the second or third version of the design. Proper planning has a huge influence.
