Art Mart App
An art-auction app built through the Google UX Design Certificate, from research to high-fidelity prototype.
Situation
As part of the Google UX Design Professional Certificate, I completed a portfolio project that asked me to design an app. I chose the prompt to design an art auction app for collectors.
Task
Create a functional, user-friendly digital experience that facilitates art auctions, addressing real user needs and improving the bidding process through UX research and iterative design.
Action
I followed a structured UX design process:
- Conducted user research to understand needs and pain points.
- Developed a user persona and journey map to guide design decisions.
- Created paper wireframes, then translated them into digital wireframes.
- Built a low-fidelity prototype and conducted usability studies.
- Analyzed the usability findings and iterated on the design.
- Developed mockups that evolved into high-fidelity prototypes.
Result
The final high-fidelity prototype incorporated the usability-study findings, leading to a more intuitive, friendly art-auction experience. It strengthened my UX skills and became a thorough case study for my portfolio.
Usability testing caught problems I hadn't spotted, and the design got better with each round of changes. Back to all work →
