Background
This is a 5-day remote Design Sprint project. We got the inspiration from the fact that home gardening blooms around the world due to the COVID-19 lockdowns. As people pick up new hobbies while they remain in self-quarantine, interest in gardening grew a lot. However, beginners need a platform to get guidance while staying at home.

Project Timeline
User Interview
The goal of the interview was to understand what problem people have been facing and listen to their opinions regarding plant care. We conducted remote interviews, and synthesize the findings from plant communities. After conducting user interviews with 6 people, we discovered areas that Planity could address.
Persona / HMW
After conducting the interview, we created these personas to synthesize and illustrate user research findings.Based on the Persona, we came up with these questions.
Empathy Building
Affinity Map
Heat Framework & Competitive research
To determine how Planity would compete in the market, we researched similar plant care apps.
By researching these platforms, we got a sense of the pain points from each, and the types of
the information which is expected on these platforms.
Crazy 8’s
We began looking for solutions through a Crazy 8’s session. Our goal was to try to get as many ideas as possible to answer previous questions. We found out what information to include, potential user flows, and information hierarchy.
