Research
Observe and analyse the behaviours of real users to understand and define the needs and objectives that the product must meet.
COMPETITIVE BENCHMARKING ONLINE SURVEY
I identified four websites to benchmark against and defined the aspects I wanted to examine (homepage, search and select, results page). I reviewed each website by taking screenshots and writing detailed commentary on my observations.
I defined my research objectives by creating an online survey using Google Forms. The survey was distributed via social networks (Facebook and LinkedIn) and email. The goal was to gather insights into the habits and needs of users who had recently booked accommodation through a website.
NOTE TAKING
Based on two user interviews previously conducted by the UX Design Institute, I took notes on the objectives, behaviours, context, positive interactions, and pain points for each stakeholder.
I also conducted a user test myself and incorporated the findings into these notes.
The aim was to create a comprehensive summary of these recordings and use this data to design a website that delivers an positive user experience.
Analysis
Interview and analyse the behaviours of real users to understand and define the needs and objectives that must be met.
USABILITY TEST
I conducted the test with a stakeholder experienced in booking hotels online. The script I had prepared beforehand guided me through all phases of the test. I asked him to complete two tasks on two different hotel websites to better understand and define his needs and objectives.
AFFINITY DIAGRAM
Using the notes from the two videos and my usability test, I created an affinity diagram, completing the entire process within an hour.
1. Then, I grouped the post-its together and assigned a name to each group to summarise the category. 2. I repeated this process twice to ensure the most logical grouping.
I began by writing each idea on a separate post-it note, using a different colour for each person, and sticking them all on the wall.
CUSTOMER JOURNEY
MAP
Using the affinity diagram, I retraced the customer journey, translating the research data into a structured document. This document highlights: - Goals - Behaviours - Positive points - Pain points
Design
Define digital experience interfaces through mock-ups (hypotheses) that address the user needs identified in the initial phase.
FLOW DIAGRAM
I created this flow diagram using Miro, mapping the journey from the homepage to the payment screen. Each screen or state is represented by a box, and each interaction by a circle.
The aim was to design the most suitable flow for our users now that we understood their objectives, behaviours, and both positive and negative experiences.
INTERACTION DESIGN
Having spent considerable time understanding and articulating the problem, I am now ready to move into 'solution mode' and begin addressing it. Building on the flow diagram I created, I sketched the screens and screen states for users navigating through my desktop app. This step was crucial before prototyping and digital wireframing, ensuring that all identified issues and user goals were addressed.
Prototype
Define digital experience interfaces thr
PROTOTYPE MID-FI
I designed a mid-fidelity prototype using Figma, covering all screens from the homepage to the payment page. The prototype includes sufficient detail and interactivity to test the high-level flow, text, and basic interactions, although the layout has not yet been fully designed.
ANNOTATIONS
I also created a set of annotations to guide developers in accurately building the product. Of course, the design should be validated and refined before development begins.

Context
This first professional assignment marked the beginning of my career as a UX Designer. The objective was to assess the site's user experience and ensure that visitors could achieve the website's two main goals: browsing the catalogue and booking an appointment online.

Research
Observe and compare the behaviours of real users to understand and define the needs and objectives that must be met.
USABILITY TESTS NOTE TAKING
Conduct three user tests to check for cognitive bias. I selected users based on their marital status:
- One who wants to get married
- One who is getting married soon
- One who is already married
Based on these three user interviews, I took notes on the objectives, habits, behaviours, context, positive interactions, and pain points for each stakeholder.
Analysis
Interview and analyse the behaviours of real users to understand and define the needs and objectives that must be met.
AFFINITY DIAGRAM
I wrote a post-it note for each thought, comment, or behaviour my stakeholder expressed. I then sorted these post-its into categories and named each group. Finally, I created an affinity diagram of the user journey to identify the positive aspects and pain points throughout the process.
The goal was to identify pain points so they could be addressed as a priority.
CUSTOMER JOURNEY MAP
I created the map to clarify the user's experience as they navigate.
Several key recommendations were presented to enhance the user flow.
“ Everything went like clockwork from start to finish, and I can't wait to use my expertise to support businesses that prioritise putting the user at the heart of their focus!
