User Research Summary

To understand user frustration, needs, and requirements, I conducted user research through interviews and surveys for my app project. My goal was to gain insights into the needs and wants of users to better design my app and responsive website. There are two types of user research methodologies: qualitative and quantitative. I chose qualitative research due to time constraints. I conducted surveys and interviews with wedding venue managers and musicians to identify pain points and user needs. Initially, I assumed the primary issue was the lack of available musicians, but research showed that the main problem was the cumbersome booking process.

Persona: Sarah

Problem Statement

Sarah is a wedding venue manager who needs an efficient way to book musicians because the current process is too time-consuming and disorganized.

User Journey Map

Goal:  Efficiently book musicians for a wedding venue using the app.

By creating user journey maps, I aimed to illustrate how Sarah navigates the process of booking musicians for a wedding venue, capturing her behaviors, feelings, and thoughts to address pain points and create moments of delight.
