Defining the Problem<\/h4>\n

Although Casa Carvalho had built a strong reputation for its handcrafted luxury handbags, its digital experience did not reflect the sophistication of the brand. Customers needed a more intuitive shopping journey, improved product discovery, personalized features, and a seamless checkout experience. The challenge was to design a mobile app that captured the brand’s elegance while meeting the expectations of today’s luxury shoppers.<\/p>\n

This helped me gain a deeper understanding of the user journey and the actions users take to accomplish their goals, laying the groundwork for a user-centered design approach.<\/p>\n

              Prototype<\/h4>\n

               <\/p>\n

              <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

              After completing the user research, personas, user flows, sketches, and wireframes, I moved into the high-fidelity design phase, creating an interactive prototype to validate the user experience. Below are a few of the prototype screens.<\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

              Usability Testing<\/h4>\n

               <\/p>\n

              <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

              I conducted <\/span>remote moderated usability testing<\/span><\/strong> with three participants, Jessica, Justin, and Mary, between the ages of 25 and 50, representing diverse professional backgrounds in architecture, law, and engineering. Participants completed six realistic tasks designed to evaluate the app’s usability, navigation, and overall shopping experience. These tasks included creating an account, searching for a product, adding an item to the shopping bag and beginning checkout, contacting the brand through in-app messaging, booking an in-store appointment, and saving products to a wishlist.<\/span><\/p>\n

              <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

              With the findings we got this Problem log:<\/span><\/p>\n

              Reflection<\/span><\/h2>\n

              Designing the Casa Carvalho app strengthened my ability to balance luxury aesthetics with usability. Through user research and testing, I gained valuable insights into the expectations of luxury shoppers and the importance of creating intuitive, brand-consistent experiences. This project reinforced the value of iterative design, user feedback, and thoughtful decision-making in delivering a seamless shopping journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
