UX Design

With growing interest and knowledge in sustainable living, more and more products and information are available for taking steps in making small adjustments in daily life, however, we believe this overload of information often proves to be overwhelming. And though the intent for improvement may be there, sometimes keeping up is tough because life gets in the way. 

The goal is to create an accountability platform to help those who want to live more environmentally sustainable stay on track, but are too busy to remember or are not sure how to go about making and sustaining adjustments to their routine. Vital to the research would be gathering data to establish a range in how sustainable users currently are and what the motivation is for wanting to improve. After understanding the needs of the users better, based in interview and research, the concept of this platform is to set and complete realistic goals as to encourage users to continue in their endeavors in sustainability. 

problem statement:

We believe that environmentally curious people need a better way to keep engaged and motivated in making lifestyle choices pertaining to sustainable living because they currently may not know how, are too busy, or forget to. "

Hypothesis:

We believe that by creating a platform that helps motivate environmentally curious people save money (while saving the environment) we will achieve the goal to live more sustainably in day to day life. We will know this to be true when platform data shows that users are continuously working to decrease their carbon footprint while saving money after completing platform given tasks.
