The weekly challenge this week was to redesign your partner’s desk. I paired up with Hannah who lives in Zurich so we chose to have a video call interview in which we each got a chance to understand the other user’s space, then we got together a few days later to show our ideas.
This blog post will take you through the process with a reflection on the whole process at the end.

These were prepared in advance with the help of the materials from uni. I focused on understanding how the space was currently used as well as identify painpoints. The answers are the notes taken during the interview and therefore are in a looser style
