Designing a Wallet

Here in class we were given the assignment to design a wallet for a partner. We started out by interviewing our partner, not only just learn about their wallet needs, but to also themselves so it could be more personalized. Next, i had to dig deeper into her wallet expectations and i learned that she needed more space not only for money but also for an ID and pictures of family member. An easy-access change pocket was also a necessity. After this I had to try to understand her needs and asked questions like "What is she trying to achieve?" and "What's something I see about my partners experience that she doesn't?". I found that the answer to these questions were all pretty much the same: she needs more space, something reliable and something that is easy to use. After this stage, I tried to stand in her point of view. I knew she needed to have more space because she always shoves her cash inside. I also struggled with this problem so i understood this need of her. Next, I designed five different wallets that i think would suit her needs and chose the one i thought was the best. I finally constructed it out of a cereal box and glue. I brought into school and me and my partner consulted about what was good and what needed to change.
