Research and Empathy:

To start, I immersed myself in understanding the needs and behaviors of both merchants and tourists. Through interviews and surveys, I gathered valuable insights:

  • Merchants needed an easy way to create, manage, and analyze offers.

  • Tourists desired quick access to deals, with clear information on availability and urgency.

User Personas and Journey Mapping:

  • Creating user personas for both merchants and tourists helped map out their journeys. This process highlighted the pain points and opportunities for a smooth and engaging experience.

Ideation and Wireframing:

  • With a clear understanding of user needs, I began sketching ideas and wireframes. The focus was on simplicity and clarity:

    • Merchant App: Simple navigation for creating and managing offers, real-time analytics, and repeat offer scheduling.

    • User App: An interactive map with bubbles indicating active offers and time remaining, fostering a sense of urgency.
