Research Setup
Website Audit
Persona Creation
We identified the target demographic as Austin’s active, hippie & eco-friendly new retirees, stay at home parents and college students.
We modeled their experiences, tasks, and mindsets to articulate the user goals & presented them as empathy maps and personas for quick, easy reference & guidance throughout the design process.
Personas, Moodboards, Photography, and Typography helped us in building the overall brand image of Keep Austin Fed.
Crazy 8 Sprint method
The goal was to push beyond my first idea and generate a wide variety of solutions.
Upon discussing with my team, I proceeded to prototype phase in order to validate the idea.
Wire-framing. Prototyping.
