outcomes + lessons
The process of usability testing unveiled valuable insights and areas for enhancement, which were instrumental in the transition from a low-fidelity to a mid-fidelity prototype.
This inaugural foray into UX design was a transformative learning experience, reinforcing the dynamic relationship between user feedback and design iteration.
User feedback resonated positively, with users describing the app as "simple," "intuitive," and "easy to follow." It is gratifying to note that Studi Buddi aligns with its original hypothesis, offering Emilia an effective tool for improving her communication skills. As one user attested, "this app would really help me in my daily life, managing learning new medical terms and studying a new language."
However, Studi Buddi remains a work in progress, yet to attain a high-fidelity design. Opportunities for refinement encompass navigation, labeling, and final UI enhancements. Nevertheless, the paramount lesson from this project is the profound importance of empathizing with the user.

The creation of the user persona played a pivotal role in providing a well-defined path for shaping the user flow. Drawing insights from Emilia's user stories, we meticulously crafted two task flows to delineate the content and structure of the app.
Style guide
Studi Buddi's UI design was influenced by a desire for a sleek, contemporary, and slightly whimsical aesthetic. The goal was to infuse Studi Buddi with an ambiance that fosters learning, all the while preserving its inherent simplicity. Below, you'll find the chosen typography, color palette, and essential assets that contributed to the crafting of Studi Buddi's visual identity.

usability testing + updates
Upon reaching the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) stage, I revisited the crucial phase of usability testing to assess the alignment between the app's experience and the users' needs and objectives. This rigorous testing unveiled aspects that resonated with the users and those that fell short. Employing a structured interview script ensured consistency and clarity across all user interactions. Participants were tasked with both specific and scenario-based assignments, during which I observed their actions, words, and emotional responses. The insights gathered were meticulously compiled into a comprehensive test report, delineating the identified issues, their severity levels, and proposed solutions.

The incorporation of features in Studi Buddi, such as the ability to choose from pre-made sets or create custom ones, access a vibrant language learning community, and utilize flashcards, exemplifies a profoundly user-centric approach that effectively addresses the initial problem articulated by frustrated users in search of a comprehensive vocabulary learning app. These features not only resolve the initial problem but also catalyze the project's resounding success, establishing it as a genuinely user-centered and impactful solution.
The user feedback, highlighted by George's assertion that "I guarantee that there are a million Quizlet decks that are made just like mine, but without the community I can't navigate towards them," and Sage's affirmation, "I truly value the pre-made study sets. They simplify the learning process," further underscores Studi Buddi's inherent user-centric nature in tackling the initial problem.
Furthermore, the compelling data indicating that 100% of interviewed users effectively learned new words using Studi Buddi's Flashcard feature solidifies the project's triumph in fulfilling its core objective, affirming the app's commitment to user-oriented design. This approach deeply resonated with our target audience, establishing Studi Buddi as an efficient and user-centric solution that not only offers access to both pre-made and custom sets but also fosters an engaging, collaborative learning community.

The incorporation of features in Studi Buddi, such as the ability to choose from pre-made sets or create custom ones, access a vibrant language learning community, and utilize flashcards, exemplifies a profoundly user-centric approach that effectively addresses the initial problem articulated by frustrated users in search of a comprehensive vocabulary learning app. These features not only resolve the initial problem but also catalyze the project's resounding success, establishing it as a genuinely user-centered and impactful solution.
The user feedback, highlighted by George's assertion that "I guarantee that there are a million Quizlet decks that are made just like mine, but without the community I can't navigate towards them," and Sage's affirmation, "I truly value the pre-made study sets. They simplify the learning process," further underscores Studi Buddi's inherent user-centric nature in tackling the initial problem.
Furthermore, the compelling data indicating that 100% of interviewed users effectively learned new words using Studi Buddi's Flashcard feature solidifies the project's triumph in fulfilling its core objective, affirming the app's commitment to user-oriented design. This approach deeply resonated with our target audience, establishing Studi Buddi as an efficient and user-centric solution that not only offers access to both pre-made and custom sets but also fosters an engaging, collaborative learning community.
End Product
Through a design journey marked by inspiration, iterative concept development, and unwavering dedication to user feedback, we achieved compelling outcomes. Our research illuminated user needs and market opportunities, and with empathy as our guide, we iteratively designed and rigorously tested the solution, effectively addressing user pain points and unmet needs in existing applications.
Confidence in the success of this approach is rooted in the valuable user feedback received. It's clear that this approach not only met its objectives but also resonated with our target audience, resulting in a more effective, user-centered solution.
The final Studi Buddi product empowers users to access both pre-made and custom sets. Additionally, users can conveniently bookmark favorite sets for on-the-go learning and engage with a collaborative learning community, connecting with like-minded individuals studying similar topics.

The process of usability testing unveiled valuable insights and areas for enhancement, which were instrumental in the transition from a low-fidelity to a mid-fidelity prototype.
This inaugural foray into UX design was a transformative learning experience, reinforcing the dynamic relationship between user feedback and design iteration.
User feedback resonated positively, with users describing the app as "simple," "intuitive," and "easy to follow." It is gratifying to note that Studi Buddi aligns with its original hypothesis, offering Emilia an effective tool for improving her communication skills. As one user attested, "this app would really help me in my daily life, managing learning new medical terms and studying a new language."
However, Studi Buddi remains a work in progress, yet to attain a high-fidelity design. Opportunities for refinement encompass navigation, labeling, and final UI enhancements. Nevertheless, the paramount lesson from this project is the profound importance of empathizing with the user.
