Everything you need to kickstart design research.
Research is the most crucial step in innovation, as it provides an understanding about users’ behaviour and actionable insights anchored in their behaviour, needs and dreams for the future.
Unlike conventional research methodologies, design research amalgamate and curate methods and techniques from the toolboxes of ethnography, anthropology etc. to discover not just insights, but a whole new perspective and fresh ideas which you would never dare to think!

Gamified Video Creation tool for art integration into classrooms
UX UI design of a complete suite of 3 apps for video editing, animation & LMS, driven through gamified reward framework.
Design Constraints & Objectives
Creating a product with retention, engagement, usability, and efficiency. Designed specifically for school kids, the app suite is tactile and caters well to an audience that has limited dexterity.
The project has three apps, Stop Motion, Showcase & the Editing app. Across the country, schools are having physical videolabs and resources that help children of 8-13 age groups make videos on various curriculum subjects. The progression of the user helps them win rewards and is also showcased for both schools and children.

The Discovery of Three Distinct Creator Personas among children
Observing students of different age groups interacting with stop motion and video-making applications led to the discovery of three distinct creator personas among children. While some of these kids were able to navigate the apps designed for adults, others needed ample handholding as they were not able to make their ideas come to fruition.
