Community driven second-hand shopping app
Hearth
Overview
Our objective was to create a mobile app that could connect communities and provide an efficient way for neighbours to trade or donate unused items and excess food. We wanted to ensure that this app could bring people together and encourage non-monetary collaboration between others as systems of support in small communities.

After the heatmaps were used to assess the overall user experience, there were opportunities to continue to improve the experience within our app. If we had more time, we would have made further refinements after our usability testing to further strengthen our design decisions and ensure a more intuitive and seamless experience for our users.
