Reflection📍

For this study research project, it was a valuable opportunity in creating a user-centric product that meets the needs of a diverse group of people in both long and short term. It helped me to learn the significance of conducting generative research on both a micro and macro level, which helped me to better comprehend the users' needs, desires, and priorities. If I had more time, I would have loved to take a deeper step in understanding the integration between real-time feedback and in-app further suggest features. Overall, I look forward to applying these learnings in future projects and continuing to improve my research methods.
