Research and Discovery
Our first step was to conduct a couple of discovery sessions with the client to learn about her vision and objectives. Since this was a brand new product, a lot still needed to be figured out (site map, personas, pricing models, etc.) and the client was looking for a partner that can guide her through the process of collaboration and iteration. For session 1 we focused on what it needs to do, and session 2 was about the look and feel.
Sketched out ideas that helped visualize the necessary page elements and interactions.
We developed user stories to map out functional requirements and user flows.
