Price Check

UX Design + Research, Graphic Design, App Development, Report Writing + Documentation - 2017

​

Price Check brings comfort to conscientious grocery shoppers by helping them figure out their grocery total before they leave their home.

​

In this semester-long project from my Experience Design course, I was responsible for coming up with an app concept that I would work on developing (conceptually). At the time, I was writing grocery lists by hand and estimating the cart total on paper so I had an idea of what I would spend before I got to the store. I had wanted to whip together a simple program to help me do this faster, and this idea was born from that thought process. After some ideation and initial user interviews, it began to take on a very different form.

The Process

After deciding on a concept, I worked through the various UX Research methods with my peers throughout the stages of development. Through user interviews, heuristic analysis, card sorting, affinity diagramming, dot voting, journey mapping, design studios, user personas, user stories, wireframing, and prototyping, I was able to come up with a stronger sense of what this product would be.

A photo of different colored sticky notes showing a journey map, where the steps a user would take are shown in yellow, physical interactions with the interface are shown in purple, questions that should be answered are in pink, and feature requirements are shown in orange.
User feedback regarding list structure is shown in blue sticky notes, with three stars to show the three dot votes the category received in the voting process with my peers.
User feedback regarding search functionality is shown in yellow sticky notes, with two stars to show the two dot votes the category received in the voting process with my peers.
User feedback regarding deals is shown in green sticky notes, with three stars to show the three dot votes the category received in the voting process with my peers.
User feedback regarding preferences is shown in purple sticky notes, with two stars to show the two dot votes the category received in the voting process with my peers.
User feedback regarding pricing and price display is shown in pink sticky notes, with four stars to show the four dot votes the category received in the voting process with my peers.

Next Steps

The biggest upcoming tasks are to figure out any technical requirements for the MVP and continue to do user interviews and contextual inquiries. I would really love to see this product come to life, and I believe there are real opportunities here for a product that grows with the user.
