Brief

Uniqla Gallery was a created for a prompted project. Uniqla is a mobile art gallery auction app that is designed for anyone who wants to purchase art... on the go. Easy to use for all demographics, Uniqla Gallery was designed in hopes that users will never have to worry about losing a purchase to time or location constraints.

Usability Studies: Findings

1

4/5 users tested had trouble clearly navigating the menu overlay. Most often, when asked to go back, users were dissapointed to find clicking outside the overlay didn't work.

2

2 users gave feedback regarding the auction indicator, commenting that seeing which items have a sense of urgency would be helpful. 

3

SUS survey: 100% of users feel that this is an intuitive, easy to use app.

Reflection

Uniqla Gallery was the first UI/UX project I have worked on. Throughout working on this project I developed my figma skills, and learned hands-on about the steps of UX reserch and making an app that was thoughtful and intuitive for users. I had a lot of fun seeing it all slowly come together and learned the importance of patience, usability testing, and iterations. In the future, I think this app can be improved by taking it to the next step and creating more functions to create a better experience for the user.
