User research to Persona and Scenarios

After conducting interviews and surveys with our site’s target audience and consulting competitive sites, we listed key findings to keep in mind while designing our site.

Card Sorting and Tree testing

We continued to test and redesign our information architecture using new findings from card sorting and tree testing.

Paper prototype and Final wireframe

We had fun creating our paper prototype, and received helpful feedback from our testing.
