Problem

Swapjones is in the development phase and has yet to be put in front of any users. It’s imperative for success that Swapjones understands usability issues before its beta phase.

My Process

As the sole UX designer, I championed the vision and direction of focus, prepared for and ran in-depth usability tests, and produced valuable insights and recommendations.

Playback of each test session, one screen segment at a time, to best analyze experiences.

Solution

My goal was to identify changes required to improve user’s understanding, performance and satisfaction. I did this by first conducting the usability testing, then analyzing the interactions and experiences to develop insights and recommendations for Swapjones’ usability.
