Product Page

Online Ordering in App

Gives the users an opportunity to replace their filter straight from the app after having received a notification to replace the filter.

Transparency with Users

Gives the users an opportunity to replace their filter straight from the app after having received a notification to replace the filter.

Filter Page

I interviewed 8 participants with the goal of understanding their water usage & what their relationship is with tap water. My focus was to identify what the key aspects are that would make the water filter an easy & simple experience.

Surveys

I sent out surveys to random college students in order to gather more information on their water filtration uses and their current experience with competitors.

Motivation

Have clean and safe water

Maintain good health

User Pains

If app is high maintenance & doesn’t easily fit into daily routines.

Goals

Improve Water Quality

Easy process for users for filter replacement

Simple process to maintain healthy water

Improve people’s health

Secondary Research

We researched water quality in cities, the types of chemicals the users drink in their tap water, and different types of filters used for water filtration.

My team and I established the essential design goals & key features based on the research data gathered from my interviews & and their secondary research. These will become my focus points when planning the designs for this project.

Needs

A form to remind users when to replace filters

Creating a filtration device that takes little to no time to filter

Showcasing to users exactly what they are drinking

Pains

Having to wait for the water filter to fill up

Not knowing when to replace the filter

Odd taste of water occasionally

5 Why’s Method

Used the 5 why’s method to lock in our main features and to ensure of people’s primary pains with water filtration devices.

Product Sketches

We made 40 different iterations of our Water Bottle & Filter concept. After having recieved feedback on our product sketches, we narrowed down our product to the portable water filter iteration.

3D Modeling

I made the 3D model based of our sketches. I considered our features which included a portable filter concept and a cooling / heating plate at the bottom.

Physical Lo-fi Prototype

My team created the physical prototypes in order to view improvements needed for our product design.
