Overview
What is Reuse Depot?
The Reuse Depot is a campus-wide material reuse service that combines a mobile web experience with a QR code system to help students donate, discover, and reuse art materials more easily.
I contributed to stakeholder research and synthesis, then took primary responsibility for translating the findings into key design decisions, user flows, wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes.
Design goal
Design an accessible digital service that makes campus art material reuse easier to discover, understand, and participate in.
Pain points
- Many students were unaware of the Reuse Depot or how it worked.
- Students could not check material availability before visiting.
- Limited funding restricted physical and operational improvements.
