About

Many students often fail to study/work productively and comfortably. Some might be feeling overstimulated due to their environment, while others may be unaware of useful study habits. To solve this issue, my team (Sean Hu, Julie Huang, Sabria Islam) and I conducted secondary research through studies and articles posted online, and primary research through the form of 22 interviews that we conducted. These were different type of interviews which included Q&A sessions, paper prototype exercieses, and user testing with our current prototype. Through the various rounds of interviews, we realized that everyone studies differently and has their own needs. To acommododate for this, we began to ideate solutions to the problem.

Eventually, we came up with Focus Find! Focus Find is a mobile app which allows users to view, search, filter, and save study spaces. In addition, they can also use study timers, play music, and add friends. We wanted our users to be able to:

  1. Optimize their space and productivity
  2. Simplify the location-scouting process
  3. Personalize their study environment
  4. Take control over time no matter where they go
  5. Work in the company of others
Our design process was long but detail-oriented. We created drafts in Figma, conducted several user interviews and testing, and continuted to refine the prototype. We repeated this process until we came up with our current version! We plan to continue to expand more on this idea and prototype.
