Overview

Overview

I worked in a team of 15 SCAD students under the guidance of Google to research, develop, prototype, and test designs focusing on how underrepresented groups are managing their money in the U.S. At the end of the 10 week sponsored class, we delivered three different concepts to Google based on their prompt.

We interviewed 24 people in under-represented communities to understand how they use finances. We took 1,330 data points and affinitized them into 129 themes with 4 key areas. We then user tested with an additional 24 people in two rounds to understand how they would use our feature.

Over the course of the 10 week class we had four check-ins with Google. Every two and a half weeks we presented to them our progress, where they provided constructive input and feedback that helped guide us to our final result. The folks at Google had a verity of roles ranging from product mangers, researchers, product designers, and software engineers.
