App for sharing photos in high-quality

OVERVIEW & ROLE

I created an app design that simplifies the management of photos and videos. It makes sharing high-quality content with friends or business partners effortless.

Wireframing

UX Design

User Interviews

CHALLENGE

Organize and share high-quality photos and videos effortlessly among friends without utilizing apps that have a complex and unintuitive process for connecting, uploading, and sharing content.

PROCESS

I launched the design process by creating wireframes based on the functionalities I considered useful and then did user interviews.

I used a rough guideline of questions and interviewed 4 people with a general interest in photography.

The goal was:


  • to find out if there is a need for such an app overall

  • to investigate how users take, manage and share photos and videos currently

  • to find out if pain points occur during those processes

Major findings were:


  • Users would always use the smartphone's in-built camera app for photo-taking

  • Except for trimming video content users were not very engaged in editing photos and videos

  • Users use Whatsapp to share photos and videos with friends when the quality doesn't matter 

  • To share high-quality content they use Google photos, email or Wetransfer

  • Users wish to share content in high-quality with friends but haven't found a convenient way to do so yet

LESSONS LEARNED

  • The interviews helped remove unnecessary features that I would have otherwise added (e.g. photo taking and photo editing feature)

  • Only speaking with 4 users helped creating 2 personas that with different goals and motivations
