Designing an app for Mikhail

”Cropped”

Getting to know Mikhail

Understanding Mikhail’s problem• Interviewing Mikhail•User persona•User story

As Mikhail, I would like to:• upload my images more quickly so that I can spend more time

improving my creative skills

• eliminate the mundane parts of the of the image-enhancing process so that I can improve the quality of my sketches.

• see intelligently suggested improvements for my sketches so that I can feel more confident about the quality of my images.

Mikhail’s main pain points•Uploading sketches separately•Using lasso tool to select relevant sketches in

document•Differences in image quality require more work•Compiling them into a a single page for client• Time-consuming process

Solution•Moving lasso tool to the front of the process, in

camera screen•Cropping takes place as first step of process rather

than last• Images are already cropped to appropriate selection:

easier to combine
