Design Thinking Class Final Project
Our final project for my Design Thinking class was to improve students’ experiences with academic support resources at Dartmouth. I worked in a group with 3 other people.
User Research & Brainstorming
As a group, we conducted 64 interviews with students, tutors, TAs, professors, librarians, and undergraduate mentors. We then identified a need and emerging themes from our interviews. We created a mind map about our problem, a POV statement, “How Might We” questions, and specifications for our solution. We then brainstormed possible solutions.
Notes from our interviewsResearch analysis and solution brainstormInitial Prototype
After paring down our brainstormed solutions, we decided to create a website that would enable students to easily connect with tutors. We made a rough mockup of our website using Canva and then got feedback from students.

I was the only member of our group who knew how to use Figma. As a result, I designed the app UI and created the Figma prototype while my group members worked on other aspects of the project. I implemented feedback from our users and from my group members into the final prototype.
