Process summary
How the work was made
Click a step to jump to the artefact it produced.
Participants
70 survey responses, five interviews, and one moderated usability session across five tasks.
Result
A high-fidelity prototype of the Reading Buddy Generator validated end to end; chat bubble ambiguity and unwanted ordering options found and fixed.
What I would test next
A second round with new participants on the swap request flow, measuring task completion without help.
Outcome
- A tested high-fidelity prototype covering the Reading Buddy Generator journey end to end
- A moderated usability session across five tasks, with findings carried into the next iteration
- A style guide and component library with consistent states across screens
- A community feature grounded in 70 survey responses and five interviews
What I took from it
Three research goals opened a lot of paths but cost me focus - a tighter research plan would have saved time. Sketching low-fidelity before opening Figma, and testing the mid-fidelity prototype, caught problems that would otherwise have landed in high fidelity.
