One point that bothers me is, I find it very useful to have this window that shows the ID document and at the same time, it bothers me when I have to remove it. Because people generally don't like just seeing it here just like that. What worked ] Everything is okay, according to Hannah. She liked the wallet’s simplicity and the new design/variation. The color and zipper of the wallet were followed. Everything she suggested last time turned out to be great for her.

After the learnings above and the iteration with my friend/husband, we were able to refine and update the desired outcomes. fat quarter quilting cotton (or a a few fat eighths if you want to use a variety of prints in your wallet) To understand his current wallet, possible problems and get some insights, I started an interview with him. I transcripted everything, but for the sake of brevity, I'll share only some sentences I considered important. On the outside, I have what I use most in the day to day: proximity card to access the subway and the other to access the office.What could be improved ] Hannah was contented when I showed her the prototype. She did not wish for further improvements and was satisfied with it. Updated Excel file with the Opportunity Score (ODI) and Opportunity To Add Customer Value (Dan Olsen) Hannah wishes a simple, bifold cardholder with a money slot for her ideal wallet. She mentioned that her current wallet has no coin compartment, so when there are coins, it becomes bulky. Hannah is looking for a smaller wallet with plenty of room for cards and bills that could hold a lot and will not be bulky even with all the cash, cards, and slots filled. Hannah’s ideal wallet is something that can keep everything she needs and fits in her purse or bag. Change the material for Tyvek (vegan-friendly) and the process of making the wallet would not involve animal exploitation as well; Even with all this process, I can't guarantee that he would use the final wallet since I decided to stop at the prototype phase and it's an interactive process.

Even though the exercise is to design the perfect wallet for a friend, I didn’t want to jump directly to the solution space. So based on the interview and observations, I decided to use the jobs-to-be-done framework that would allow me to deconstruct the job that he was trying to get done. A place for carrying all his cards, including the Transit Pass that used to be carried separately — and it applied to the desired outcomes of comfort as well. I was afraid of having a two-fold wallet because I used to think the volume would increase or be less practical. But to my surprise, it was comfortable and practical.

I loved participating in the process and having my needs listened and translated into a prototype. I confess that I came to consider using the prototype as my official wallet. ;) What I've learned Today, we’re going to be reviewing the classic Sketch Wallet. This beefy wallet isn’t small coming in at 4.5″x6″. This is obviously down to the fact the wallet has the ability to store a note, or sketchbook that comes in at a size of 3.5″x5.5″. The quality of the Sketch wallet is top-notch. Made from non-descript leather I think the quality is better than genuine leather (the worst type) but not as good as the likes of full-grain, putting it somewhere in the middle. Another version of the wallet is available in canvas for a cheaper price and actually gives the wallet a better and more attractive appearance. It was good to test it, this was "the obvious" not so obvious to me. Now I was able to do it better with the things I've learned:

In the use I made in the 4 days I felt difficulty trying to pass the turnstile of the subway station near home. I had to take the card out of the wallet to use. Interestingly, the card worked at the station from work to home. I enquired further about Hannah’s past experiences and her current wallet to learn more about her. She informed me that when she was in senior high, her father bought her a new wallet since the one she used was left on the bus. She has been using it for a while now. When asked what was going through her mind when selecting a wallet, she said that she prefers an expensive one since she thinks it is sturdy and long-lasting.It made me more empathetic and understood the person or interviewee I’m designing the wallet for. I wanted to find out more about Hannah by asking about the contents of her purse, experiences, and feelings. Talking to Hannah gave me some insights on what I’m going to do/design that will benefit her. I loved the idea of them on each side. I also enjoyed having the other things with less use on the inside. I made a test on the last day removing all other cards from the wallet and letting only the transit pass card and it worked well. I think that having the cards so closed in that kind of material can causes an interference in the prox cards.
