Takeaway ↘︎
I designed this swimming app inspired by my own passion for swimming, a hobby I shared with my dad, swimming together three times a week. This personal connection fueled my project, and through my initial experience with User Testing, I've learned the importance of aligning design with real user needs, making the project not just a professional endeavor but a personal one as well.
Secondary Research ↘︎
Interviews ↘︎
I interviewed both expert swimmers and beginners to understand their needs and pain points. This approach helped me cater to a wide range of abilities, ensuring the app is useful and accessible for all skill levels.
Competitors ↘︎
In researching competitors for my swimming app, I reviewed what was available, gaining insights into areas for improvement and how to better meet user needs.
Persona ↘︎
I created a persona and conducted two 'user journey' studies for him - one capturing his general daily routine and another focused on his workout routine. This approach gave me a holistic view of his lifestyle and needs, guiding me to design an app that integrates smoothly into both his everyday life and his exercise regimen.
