My Design Process

Introduction

HouseHunt is a real estate app that matches homebuyers to homes for sale. The app helps users to manage their home search in collaboration with a partner and/or real estate agent.

Download the Case Study

My biggest challenge was to design an app that would compete with big-name real estate apps like Trulia and Realtor.

I evaluated popular real estate apps by analyzing their usability and core features. I utilized a human-centered design approach to learning the needs and wants of real estate app users.

My Role

I was the UX designer on this project. I performed the research, synthesis, ideation, design, prototyping, and testing in a user-centered design process.
