User Research
I conducted interviews to better understand the user I’m designing for and their needs. One of the user groups identified through research was adults whose pets have allergies.
This user group confirmed the assumption that being able to easily understand the ingredients in food was important. Research also revealed that time, budget, or difficulty reading screens can be factors in users choosing to research pet food in person vs on an app.
