Overview
Gift-it helps people plan gifts for everyone in their life. A calendar keeps track of gift-giving dates, each person gets a profile, gift ideas can be tagged by interest, and crowdsourced suggestions help when you’re stuck.
We designed it as a team of students at the University of Toronto for CSC318.
What I did
- Ran user research with interviews, questionnaires, observation and think-aloud sessions to find pain points
- Facilitated ideation, design critique and heuristic evaluation sessions with the team
- Designed the gift profiles, calendar and crowdsourcing features as interactive prototypes in Figma
- Iterated on the design in cycles, validating each round with users
