Project Brief
Look into a topic, find problems, and design a simple solution.
Problem Statement
First-time movers often do not have a clear budget or the skills they need to live on their own. Because of this, they can feel stressed and unprepared during the moving process.
Research
Survey
We created a survey to learn about first-time movers. It included simple questions and was shared with students and the public. We received 75 responses. This helped us find common problems and understand how people prepare for moving.
Interview
We did 10 interviews to learn about people’s moving experiences. We spoke with first-time movers and a professional. We asked about how they prepare and learn new skills. This helped us understand their feelings and real-life challenges.
Findings & Insights
1. Shocks & Fears
First-time movers often feel scared and unsure. The emotional side of moving can be harder than expected.
2. Comfort of Home
People often focus on basic needs when choosing a place. This can make it harder for them to feel at home.
3. Budgeting
Many people do not know how much things will cost when moving out. This is because they do not have a clear budget or enough information.
4. Trial & Error
When living alone for the first time, people often learn by trial and error. This can take lots of time and be wasteful.
Solution
Our app helps first-time movers feel ready and less stressed. It includes simple budget tools, helpful guides, and a progress tracker to support each step. A friendly mascot also helps users feel less alone during the moving process.
