Team & Roles

User research & User interface design

Turning empty spaces into instant homes

Project Background

House2Home is a cutting-edge platform designed to transform the overwhelming process of home decoration into a seamless, enjoyable experience. By offering a user-centric website with curated decoration kits, it empowers new homeowners and renters to create stylish, personalized spaces without design expertise, all from the comfort of their browser.

This project was developed as part of a 5-day Google Design Sprint, where I was tasked with designing a comprehensive website solution based on provided user research.

Project Parameters

Platform: Website (not mobile application)

Focus: Small, affordable decorative items rather than full room makeovers

Price Range: Items in starter kits must cost between $10-$50 to ensure accessibility

Timeline: 5-day design sprint from concept to testable prototype

Solving the blank canvas dilemma

The Challenge

Many new homeowners and renters face a common problem: they move into an empty space and feel overwhelmed by the prospect of decorating it. They often lack the time, design expertise, or confidence to transform their house into a home that reflects their personality and meets their functional needs.

My challenge was to create a website that would simplify the home decoration process by offering curated starter kits with affordable items, while still providing enough personalization options to make these spaces feel unique and personal to each user.

Five days to transform an idea into reality

The Design Sprint

My process followed the classic Google Design Sprint methodology, consisting of five focused days:

Charting the course for meaningful solutions

Day 1: Map

I gathered information and identified the core problems users face when decorating a new space. Using the provided user research, I mapped out an end-to-end experience that would guide users from initial inspiration to final purchase. This day was crucial for establishing a clear understanding of the project scope and user needs.

Rapid ideation unleashes creative potential

Day 2: Sketch

I conducted lightning demos of existing solutions in the market and analyzed their strengths and weaknesses. This inspired my Crazy 8 sketches, where I rapidly generated eight ideas in eight minutes. I then developed more refined solution sketches for key screens, focusing on addressing user pain points identified in Day 1.

Curating my best ideas for maximum impact

Day 3: Decide

I evaluated all sketches produced on Day 2 and selected the most promising solutions. Using these selected ideas, I created a comprehensive 10-panel storyboard that visualized the end-to-end user journey through the website. This storyboard served as the blueprint for my prototype development.

Bringing my vision to life

Day 4: Prototype

I transformed my storyboard into a clickable prototype using Adobe XD. The prototype included all critical user flows and featured high-fidelity visual designs. I focused on creating an intuitive interface that would make the home decoration process accessible and enjoyable for users of all design skill levels.

Learning through user feedback

Day 5: Test

I conducted usability testing with five participants to evaluate my prototype. Each participant was asked to complete specific tasks while sharing their thoughts and observations. Their feedback highlighted both the strengths of my design and areas that needed improvement, providing valuable insights for refining my solution.

Maria

"I moved into a new apartment and it was sooo empty, so I wanted to buy some stuff to make it a little more stylish. I knew I needed a few things, but it was hard trying to stick to a budget

Deena

"I know the 'look' I want, and how I want to feel when I walk in... I just don't really know what products to buy to pull it off."

Anna

"So many items look great in the staged photos - but will they look good in MY living room? You don't really know until you order them and see how they look in the space."

Defining challenges to discover opportunities

Day 1: Understanding the Problem

On my first day, I conducted a thorough review of the user research and created an end-to-end user journey map. This exercise helped me identify key pain points in the home decoration process and formulate my "How Might We" (HMW) questions:

  1. "How might we help users find the perfect starter kit?"

  2. "How might we help users visualize their homes with the items?"

  3. "How might we help users decide what to put in their homes?"

  4. "How might we help users find inspiration for interior design?"

These questions became my north star throughout the design process, ensuring I stayed focused on solving real user problems.

Learning from others, innovating for tomorrow

Day 2: Competitive Analysis & Ideation

I researched three key competitors to understand current market solutions and identify opportunities for differentiation:

  1. Havenly - Offers professional interior design services but at a higher price point than my target users could afford.

  2. IKEA Planning/Kreativ - Provides room planning tools but lacks curated starter kits for quick decisions.

  3. Pinterest - Excellent for inspiration but doesn't connect ideas to purchasable products in a seamless way.

After my competitive analysis, I conducted Crazy 8 sketching sessions. I rapidly created eight different screen concepts in eight minutes, focusing on solutions to my HMW questions. From these sketches, I identified three critical screens to develop further:

  • Augmented Reality Screen

  • Curated Starter Kit Screen

  • Custom Starter Kit Screen

Crafting a narrative for seamless experiences

Day 3: Storyboarding

I developed a 10-panel storyboard that outlined the user's journey through the website. The storyboard helped me visualize how a user might:

  1. Land on the homepage and discover the concept of starter kits

  2. Browse through different kit categories

  3. Select a kit that matches their style preferences

  4. Customize items within the kit if desired

  5. Use AR to visualize items in their space

  6. Make a purchase decision

This narrative approach ensured I designed a cohesive experience rather than disconnected screens.

Learning from real interactions

Day 5: User Testing

I conducted usability testing with five participants: Anthony, Evan, Sabrina, Irvin, and Henry. Each participant was asked to complete six specific tasks:

  1. Change the picture frame in the interactive AR page

  2. Navigate to the inspiration page

  3. Add a custom kit to the cart

  4. Find the fourth object in the curated starter kit

  5. Navigate to the custom kit page

  6. Navigate to the cart

The testing provided valuable feedback on my design. For example:

  • Anthony suggested adding clearer labels to navigation elements

  • Evan struggled with finding the inspiration page

  • Sabrina wanted more information about each item in the starter kits

  • Irvin found the AR feature intuitive but wanted more control options

  • Henry appreciated the curated kits but wanted more customization options

Reflecting outcomes to drive design evolution

Key Takeaways

Simpler is Sometimes Better

My initial designs included decorative background elements that I thought would enhance visual appeal. However, user testing revealed that most users preferred simplicity and clarity, focusing more on functionality than elaborate design elements.

Flow of Direction Matters

Users need clear pathways through the website. I learned that strategic placement of CTA buttons and intuitive navigation patterns is crucial for helping users move seamlessly from page to page.

Time Management and Efficiency

The design sprint format taught me valuable lessons about working efficiently under pressure. I learned to prioritize essential features and focus on solving core user problems rather than getting lost in details.
