overview
summary
Here I created a low fidelity prototype for an app that can locate nearby public restrooms.
User research, GPS technology, and ordering results by distance were critical to making sure all features a person would want from the app are present. Speaking to interviewees, the ability to map by car and by foot, look for facilities with handicap access, being able to see how cleanly they are, and whether they have a baby changing table all came to light as valuable in creating a well-rounded solution.
