Love that idea. Will keep it in my queue ;)

Appreciate it!!

aww that is SO kind of you!! This comment made my day. Thank YOU for watching do not hesitate to let me know what else you’d like to see :))

Thank you for watching Jamie!! Is there anything you’d like to see next? Always love taking suggestions ❤️

👀👀👀

You are so welcome !!

Love all these suggestions. If you were to do this IRL I think keep in mind of how to voice these while also being able to prioritize which ones to execute on as you only have so much time. Perhaps to the ones you’re not able to execute during the actual challenge can list them out in “next steps” or if you have more time.

My absolute pleasure!! :D what would you like to see next?

Thank you! Hope you enjoyed :)

You’re welcome! What else would you like to see?

You’re very welcome 😆

My pleasure :) part 2 uploading later tonight

Thanks for watching Felicia :)

😍😍

thank you so much :) glad to have you here!

Trying my best! What would you like to see next? Love to take suggestions ❤️

Absolutely I agree- that is a great point! You should NOT take challenges that relate to their products period. Whiteboard challenge/take home design challenges in 2018-2020 were scrutinized because companies were doing exactly that. They would give challenges the company is currently facing and get designs for free without hiring them. I remember reading posts on it via LinkedIn lol. I def think it’s well known now not to do that. I know at google if they are to give you a challenge it’s not related to their products at all and you may be given something like design a dog walking app or moving app. If a company is still doing this, def need to call it out because it’s not acceptable. Thanks for bringing this up!

My pleasure!!

🫶😊

Yessss

Thank you!

Yesss same!! Let’s gooo

Hey Carter, I agree- definitely getting to the root of the issue both earns better ux and product- would love to see this too. For examples sake this is what I was given in the mock challenge with Julia~ definitely agree with you though, thanks for sharing!😆

My pleasure- thanks for watching:) what would you like to see next?

@@sharonyeunkim I’d love to see a similar mock call but for doing company branding? It’s really insightful to hear what type of questions you’re asking and it helped me see how you were using the answers to formulate a thought process of how the design should look in your head and transfer to wireframe / design

Thanks! That’s a great question. I think best practical way is to talk through designs real time with a full time designer. But let me make a video on that too to help.

aww haha thank you ☺️

For the whiteboard challenge I’ve done it was remote. If it is a remote whiteboard challenge most likely it’ll be done in something like Figma. If not def good old fashioned whiteboard! Nonetheless- if you can communicate clearly shouldn’t be too much of an issue to adapt to a digital space :-)

Lowkey I met 80% of my friends now online. So many amazing people out there.

Hey! I think that could be a great prompt for a separate case study which you can try to build that out. If you were thinking to suggest that in this whiteboard challenge with same circumstances, I would take inspiration of your experience with that Discord idea instead of changing the app to be like discord- saying how you notice breaking the ice via talking about common topics can translate into this apps MVP. Otherwise, yes sounds like a cool concept to build as a separate project!

@@sharonyeunkim heyo! Yep, I think that idea would be perfect for another project. However, I believe that the Discord idea could definitely fit in the whiteboard challenge due to having short work of social anxiety which I think is "the big deal" of this project. ☺️ I mean, once people start talking to each other about common topics it would be easier to find like-minded individuals, right? What do you think about it?

@@matteosechi I think it can definitely work if you phrase how people would most likely bond easier over shared interests- for a second I thought someone would take that idea and change this app for the challenge to be a discord app which is not the point

@@sharonyeunkim yeah, sure. So basically, let's say that John (your persona) is a very shy guy with a lot of social anxiety. He browsed for days profiles and looked at some events in NYC where he's going to stay in a few weeks. He beat around the bush all the time and didn't match anybody. At this point he became an inactive user or just left the app, but we could say that this wouldn't happen if he had another option to beat social anxiety - a chat-like thing. Going into details about the chat-like option, John would find a button called "break the ice", "join discussions", "chatting with friends" etc alongside group, profile etc in the app's footer. Once clicked in the "break the ice" button he will find a list of topics like this - super techie gadgets - best techie programs - how you became a techie and more common ones like: - food - pets - movies - art - gaming - etc John would be able to join the discussion in each and every topic by clicking on the list topic name like "pets" that would be used by a lot of people talking about their stuff and hobbies and pets day-by-day. Hypothetically, the pet chat - like a very clean Telegram chat kinda style, with a profile photo and user name of who is writing and a view complete profile option - there's Lisa (a persona) which posts everyday her pet photos or talk about it and John got a pet either. Next, they could start talking to each other about their pets and break the ice, then end up going to an event nearby together, match and whatever. Does make sense to you Sharon? ☺️

@@matteosechi yes it does- this would be another great potential solution to the challenge!!

Nothing wrong with being basic if it solves the problem- and yes, keeping the pain point in the persona is important :)
