Cardshare

CardShare was a team project that I led where we created a digital business card sharing application from ideation to high fidelity prototypes. This project included creating mood boards, sketches, personas, key task flows, low and high fidelity prototypes. The process of this application’s development is highlighted below.

Low Fidelity Prototypes

These lo-fi prototypes highlight screens needed for key tasks on the CardShare application.

 
 
 

Mid Fidelity Prototypes

These mid-fi prototypes were created in Axure and added interaction and more detail to this application in order to be used for future testing. These prototypes walk through CardShare on a mobile phone and smartwatch.

 
 
 
 
 

Testing of prototypes

TEST PLAN

Objectives

  • Evaluate the overall user experience as a point of reference for building a Hi-Fi prototype.

  • Identify unmet user needs by better understanding the considerations consumers undergo when accomplishing networking and recruiting-related tasks.

Account and Card Creation

  • How well does the design match the participants’ mental model?

  • What are the design patterns consumers consistently resonate with? 

Card Exchange

  • How well do participants understand how to exchange information?

  • What aspects of card exchange work well for consumers? 

  • What issues do consumers experience when using CardShare?
