BACKGROUND.
Community Corner app was created as my 1st project in the Google UX Cert. course. We were asked to select a problem and create a digital product that gives a solution.
​
Once I started my research, I found there are very limited apps available on the market which target for the people living in remote cities who has the needs in used clothings. The options, features are also very limited on the existing ones. Then I designed the Community Corner App and thinks it can help to improve the current situation and meet the needs of people living in remote areas.
THE PROBLEM.
People of different communities living in remote areas who are too busy to shop around stores in person to buy clothes for their children or themselves; because driving to used clothing stores takes too much time and does not fit his/fer schedule.
THE GOAL.
The Community Corner App connects people in different communities by offering easy, intuitive functions, creating enjoyable buying & selling experience for busy community users. The goal is to help them saving time & fit their own schdule by letting users buy & sell online within their own community.
USER RESEARCH.
In order to understand the problem, I conducted a survey by Google Forms with 5 people who live in remote areas. Below are their common pain points to the existing situation.
"I can't find what I want in my living area, but I don't have time to drive & shop!"
"Variety in my living area is too limited,
I don't like long drive."
"I'm too busy to go shop clothing for my kids & myself,
I don't like the existing online stores whatever on price/variety"
