Overview
Check-in system with confusing interactions, and outdated visuals
Takes longer time checking in, creating a line, blocking the entrance, and causes people to skip it
User data, and safety waiver
The realization of this project was made possible through the collaborative endeavors of the development team and the design team.
Needs
Validating safety compliance
Providing privileged access to secure equipment and other amenities
Maintain funding from the school
User Research
Observed users for a six-month period.
Users:
Students: Design, Engineering, Arts, Political Science, Economics, and more
Academia: Masters, PhD, and Professors
3rd Party Companies: Prosthetics Company, Chemical labs, etc
Personas
How it works
User Flow
Lofi Prototype & User Testing
Design System
Hifi Prototype and More User Testing
Felt too dry
Colors didn't match the UCSD spirit
Onboarding Screen
Instruction Screen
Account Creation Screen
Final Presentation
Showcased my user flow to my manager from the ground-up to the final prototype
Pointed out I should prioritize the instructions section to make it clearer
Final Design
Hand-off
Collaborated closely with the developers, ensuring a seamless transition from the prototype to implementation using Tkinter
Recognizing the constraints posed by Tkinter, I devised techniques to facilitate the development process
Problem Solving
Implementation and Product Testing
Upon the development team's completion of translating the prototype and integrating it into the system's procedural code, we proceeded to incorporate the new prototype and conducted product testing with incoming users.
Valuable insights:
Language employed in the instructions
Presentation of user status.
Reflection
It can be easy to feel stuck in the original design
Trust the design process, every step is important, tenths of a second can get you pole position.
