Challenge
Design an application for tracking and sharing location information.
Solution
An app that is designed to fit the needs of low vision users as they track their items.
Problem Statement
Current solutions for keeping track of our belongings fail to properly support low-vision users.
Research
Existing Solutions (Secondary Research)
I evaluated the existing features and limitations of present-day tracking services to help us get a better sense of the strengths and weaknesses of existing solutions.
User Research Insights (Primary Research)
We interviewed participants with different vision levels to better understand the pain points, challenges, and strategies that people experience and use when locating a lost item.
Interviews (Primary Research)
We interviewed five participants with varying levels of vision on their experience using Sticky, and I made design changes based off of the key insights
User Personas
After creating our personas, it helped my team and I keep in mind the main needs of our users as we were designing.
User Journey
We created a user journey map to understand areas in our users’ lives where Sticky could assist them.
How might we create a more inclusive process for locating lost or misplaced objects in both private and public locations for people with low-vision?
