Consider how organizing your closet could be improved by a mobile application.
Design a simple mobile application that helps users deal with the common challenges and pain points related to one of these situations.
Tools: Google Slides, Paper, Markers
Duration: 8 days / approx 3 hours after work daily.
The Challenge
This is my first UX challenge EVER, I didn't even know where to begin.....
I have never tried to create an application or designed anything ever before.
I started with brainstorming my current knowledge of closets and seeking evidence and data of other closet contents and usage.

First Design
Shown are a few screens I made in Google Slides.
My first design had potential users walkthrough the app, at the time I wasn't aware it was called usability testing, or that the notes I was keeping were called iterations.
Enter your Wardrobe
Here are a few first iterations high fidelity mockup screens I developed. I plan to test these hi-fidelity mockups and record interactions and touchpoints made when using this app.
​
Next Steps
Persona, scenario, and task creation to conduct usability testing, prototype and iterate on hi-fidelity mockups.
A marketplace where you can buy, sell, trade or donate your wardrobe
​
Design your own outfit playground, draw new looks and create new styles
​
Each article of clothing is tracked so you know how many times it has been worn & if it’s in need of a wash or already in the laundry basket
​
Scan tags when purchased to preload into inventory
​
Links to already subscribed companies like StitchFix
Learnings
When I look back at this project I see my growth. I am able to see where methodologies and techniques come into play.
​
I remember thinking there were so many foreign terms and new a whole new language. I feel empowered to know that my growth as a designer is always evolving.
I am excited to continually learn new skills while growing into my UX skin.
I'm working towards 10,000 hours.
