About
Designing an residential life experience that holistically considers the needs of users across diverse age groups.
In the summer of 2022, I interned at Daylight Design LLC, Seoul Studio, where I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with my team on a project focused on designing the Xi Residential Experience and developing design guidelines.
This experience allowed me to further expand my skills as a product designer. I also gained valuable experience in collaborating and communicating with the client’s team, ensuring that our design solutions aligned with their goals and expectations.
My primary focus was on crafting user-centered design solutions with deep insights that aligned with our clients’ goals and values. Due to an NDA, I cannot share specific details, but feel free to reach out to me for more information
Retrospect
A valuable project that allowed me to identify both my strengths and areas for improvement.
This project involved an in-depth six-month research process aimed at designing the living experience for XI Apartments, encompassing residence of all age groups.
Given the long-term nature of the project, it provided me with a valuable opportunity to deeply experience almost every aspect of UX design. It was especially meaningful as it helped me identify my weaknesses and areas for improvement, while also gaining a clear understanding of my strengths as a designer.
Keep
Adopt a proactive approach by not only utilizing the resources provided but also leveraging my own network to find interviewees to extract higher quality interview insights.
Providing rapid prototyping to facilitate effective visual communication.
Problem
Since it was a design project centered on residential experiences, it was challenging to recruit senior participants for the on-site interviews.
When several high-quality visual features were required within a short timeframe, I tended to focus too much on the details, which slowed down the process.
Try
Continuously explore flexible methods for interviews and conducting user tests that can adapt to participants across a wide age range.
Focus on building the ability to quickly visualize ideas, rather than getting caught up in the details.
