Main outcome: Designed an interactive prototype of a service for communication within neighbourhoods as a part of VK.com ecosystem (the largest social networking site in Russia)
- Conducted a brainstorming workshop (with 11 participants) to identify main user needs and problems
- Identified additional problems and topics of discussion using computational text analysis (LDA)
- Formulated push and pull factors, job stories and product vision
- Performed UX testing by conducting 5 semi-structured interviews
Note: this project is not affiliated with VK.com and presents my vision of non-existent product.
