RESEARCH
Having partnered with individuals utilizing shared laundry facilities, I embarked on a mission to streamline and enhance the system. Drawing insights from their experiences, I've crafted features to simplify and minimize the inconvenience of laundry. User-centric design hinges on understanding the target audience. Initial research delves into their needs, interests, and behaviors, all aimed at ensuring a seamless experience.
