Process
Problem
To begin this adventure, I delved deep into the lives of the target audience, seeking to understand their hopes, struggles, and motivations. Through surveys and user interviews, I discovered a myriad of stories—students yearning to excel academically, professionals striving for career advancements, and individuals seeking personal growth and fulfillment.
People from all walks of life dreamed big. Sarah, an aspiring writer, dreamed of publishing her novel, while Mark, a driven professional, aspired to reach new heights in his career. In one interview, Sarah shared her frustration with keeping track of her writing goals, while Mark revealed his struggles with staying motivated amidst life's distractions.
As I delved into the research, I discovered that many dreams remained unfulfilled due to the lack of effective goal management.
