Why? Help working women who like wearing female suits easily find designs they want by easily connecting them with places or people who offer such designs, thus eliminating the frustration resulting from wasting time and effort on finding professional clothing.

How? An app that provides AI-based suggestions and allows fast browsing as well as communication between buyers and sellers.

What? Targeting working women, sellers, and tailors.

 

Reflection: Prototyping SUITS helped me better apply design concepts learned in class to a project which could potentially become a problem-solving commercial product in the future. Initially, I wasn’t sure how to address the issue mentioned above, and the in-class exercise with Sylvia helped me solidify my idea. I think that the main lessons I learned while working on this project include the importance of the iterative design cycle and constant questioning of the project concept. Before presenting the designs I made using Sketch and inVision, I had to go through many iterations. Iterating and improving my prototype helped me create an app version which could be easily usable and functional. While working on the project, I interviewed many of my friends and acquaintances about SUITS, and their feedback helped me solidify my final idea while trying to outline the most important design goals. Overall, I achieved my goal of prototyping an app which would address the business wear issue. My next steps would include reiterating through the design cycle to create a better prototype and more research as to the necessary tech as well as the business layer.
