Project 1: Competitive Analysis
We conducted market research on behalf of Kairos, a remote patient monitoring company focused on postpartum health. Through background research and data synthesis, we strategically redesigned the company's marketing position.
Project 2: Finance App Usability
The goal-tracking app, Stack Save, was tested for feature usability with 4 users, focusing on areas for improvement in ease of use and effectiveness. We conducted a usability testing session via a survey and redesigned the interface based on the suggestions.
Project 3: Customer Loyalty
TableGram, a popular food service app, has seen changes in customer loyalty. To understand the key drivers and barriers in customer loyalty, we designed and administered a survey and conducted A/B testing to propose an intervention to keep customers.
