Design brief

Help one person catalogue their home room by room with the camera so they can find anything fast.

01 · Brief

Things get put away, then lost.

I wrote the brief for one person filing their home room by room with the camera.

02 · Directions

Three layouts, then three styles.

I had agents build a shelf, a label maker and a floor plan, then restyle the plan three ways.

03 · Prototype

A floor plan you can search.

Clickable on a phone, with search pinning things on the plan, and checked by agents against the boards.

Three homes. One floor plan.

test questions from the sprint, which I answered myself. No one else has tried it yet.

From an empty home to the first item.

What worked

  1. 01The floor plan carried the whole idea.
  2. 02Search pins things right on the plan.
  3. 03Every save and move comes with an undo.

What I’d change

  1. 01Let people set up their own floor plan first.
  2. 02Give people a reason to keep adding things.
  3. 03Ask who loses things most before building more.
