![]() ![]() Iterations to increase discoverability for view in my room.įor my first high fidelity iteration, I created different Icons to represent “view in my room”, It was challenging to create a familiar icon for an AR feature.Īfter conducting comprehension test to validate my solutions, users found the icons to be vague and confusing and the tip was not doing much good. Moving “Latest” section to the home screen, I have noticed through running comprehension testing that “Latest” in the navigation, was either misunderstood or not used at all so I moved it to the home screen, as a section of the updates.Īfter sketching on paper I turned my ideas into high fidelity screens using Sketch, then used Marvel to create a clickable prototype to validate my solutions. ![]() Giving feedback after saving: proposing a pop-up to show “Saved to Ideabooks” instead of just “Saved”, so it is clear where the item is saved, and where the user should go next to find it.My reasoning was that Ideabooks is more of a place to go to than a tool to use, by making it available in the navigation bar users can access it from any screen. Make navigation easier: I proposed to add the “Ideabooks” to the navigation bar at the bottom, and remove it from the tool menu at the top which only appears in the home screen.The proposed flow to create a clear navigation to Ideabooks (If this was a bigger project I would want to validate with more user interviews.) This process provided me with a roadmap and a solid foundation to base my design solutions on users findings.įirst I created a provisional persona for a typical user for Houzz based on online research and the base of users within my friends and family. Propose design solutions and validate them.įollowing the IDEO model for the human-centered design, I started the process with usability testing and ended with validation.Understand the discoverability issues in “view in my room ”.Discover confusion around saving and navigation.I discovered recently “View in my room” which is an AR visualization tool allowing you to place items in your surroundings, I had no idea it existed, its indication right now is subtle and almost invisible to new users, my hypothesis is that by making this feature visible more users will be able to see this feature and use it.Houzz has “ Ideabooks” which is a feature that allows users to save photos and ideas in boards to access them and make edits.“Ideabooks” does not have an easy access, my hypothesis is by making navigation to it easier more users will be able to find their saved ideas without frustration. ![]() However, I noticed some usability issues in the app that hinders inspiration, so I decided to track them down. I personally fall into the last category, I use Houzz because I am passionate about interior design and I love creating spaces and matching furniture, Houzz is my very own Pinterest. Style-lovers, They are always on the lookout for new ideas and like to shop frequently for smaller furniture pieces or decorations.Casual-Renewers who upgrade a piece of furniture every once and a while.New-movers furnishing a new house and looking for a wide variety of ideas and services. ![]() Houzz is an interior design app that has thousands of furniture inspirations for users to express their styles.Īfter talking to friends and interviewing users I found that out of the people I talked to there were 3 main categories: We express ourselves through fashion, music, art, and through furniture. We are all looking for self-expression and inspiration. ![]()
