Overview
💫 Challenge
People feel overwhelmed by design choices and have difficulty visualizing how furniture will fit, leading to disjointed or impractical layouts. People find it difficult to stick to a budget while decorating their spaces.
✅ Solution
Our goal over 10 weeks was to simplify and streamline the interior design experience. We wanted to empower users to make choices with confidence while eliminating the hassle of costly mistakes. Our approach focused on providing an engaging, user-friendly VR application that enhances creativity and efficiency.
Research
To identify the core challenges users face with home design tools, we conducted a series of user interviews and secondary research. Participants shared that they face choice paralysis, struggle with visualizing furniture placement, and have difficulty executing a cohesive aesthetic. These insights helped us define key usability problems

Mapping the complete user journey was essential for gaining a deep understanding of each stage from onboarding through to purchase and post-purchase interactions.
This process helped us to:
Detect experience gaps, such as transitions that weren’t clearly defined between design and shopping phases.
Visualize user intentions throughout the journey, allowing us to prioritize key interactions like the AI quiz, moodboard creation, and AR product placement.
Eliminate redundant steps to streamline the process, improving efficiency and minimizing friction.
Unite cross-functional teams, including design, content, and technology, around a shared understanding of the user experience.
