Secondary Research

60%

60 percent of e-waste comes from home appliances, including everything from washers and dryers to small appliances.

Aha!

To have a truly sustainable impact on the e-waste issue, we must understand what people know about recycling and why they may not recycle.

Primary Research

I conducted an array of interviews with multiple users focusing on barriers of entry across my target demographics and synthesized all of my findings.

Persona

Core Epic

Core Epic

I chose the Core Epic because it aligned the best with the problem space.

Purchase journey of a used appliance.
This epic attempts to convey three aspects of our users pain-points:

Hates dealing with the workload of buying used appliances

Dislikes meeting up with strangers to purchase.

Dislikes the amount of time spent searching for a replacement.

High Fidelity

Prototype
After going through different color iterations, I finally arrived at the final high-fidelity prototype.

Challenges

The most challenging portion of this project was learning how to frame potential pain points and how it can translate to a workable solution.
