Research And Ideation
User Persona
Kenny is a young beautiful Nigerian woman, who lives in Lagos she is 35 years old with a family of two, she is frontend developer, and a caring wife and mother who prioritizes buying fresh farm food over stale ones for her family, but unfortunately, she is always having short time to go to market due to her work nature.

"How can I restock my groceries quickly, at the comfort of my home"
User Pain Points
Time Constraints for Grocery Shopping
Kenny’s busy work schedule as a frontend developer leaves her with little time to visit the market regularly. She struggles to find a convenient way to buy fresh farm food without disrupting her workflow or family time.
Limited Access to Fresh Farm Produce
Due to her tight schedule, she often ends up buying groceries from nearby stores that may not always have fresh farm produce. She worries about the quality and nutritional value of food when she can't personally select it.
Ideation
After the research I decided to bring out my user's need which was derived from the pain point. I conducted quantitative research on our target users from age 24-65 and they have similar experience just like kenny.
Defining User Needs
She needs a convenient way to buy fresh farm produce without visiting the market frequently.
She needs a platform she can trust to provide high-quality, fresh food.
She needs a time-efficient shopping experience that fits into her busy schedule.
Ideate Solutions
Based on the research, I brainstorm and propose possible solutions that address the user’s pain points and meet their needs.
A mobile app or web platform that allows Kenny to quickly shop and delivers farm-fresh food directly to her home.
A subscription service that ensures weekly delivery of fresh farm produce.
A feature that allows her to pre-order groceries and pick them up quickly without waiting.
Design Process
User Journey Map
With the research insights in mind, I began the wireframing process to map out the user journey. I mapped out how Kenny would interact with the app from start to finish. This ensures a smooth and intuitive experience.

Low Fidelity Wireframe
To translate our research insights into a structured user experience, I began with low-fidelity wireframes. These simple, skeletal layouts helped us quickly visualize the platform’s structure, ensuring a logical and intuitive user journey from landing on the app to completing an order.
High Fidelity Wireframes
After refining the low-fidelity wireframes and validating the core user flows, I moved into the high-fidelity design phase. This stage focused on translating the wireframes into polished, visually engaging interfaces while maintaining clarity and usability.
Interactive Prototype
With the high-fidelity designs finalized, I moved into the interactive prototyping phase to bring the user experience to life. This step allowed us to simulate real interactions, ensuring the platform felt intuitive before development.
We realized that a lot of users were having signing up issues due to long process.
Only 50% of users completed a purchase, due to long check out process
There were technical issues because the platform was operating Wordpress powered by Woocommerce, as company grows there is demand for proper built in website
The currently website is not aesthetically pleasing and this as affected users retention
After
Cut down sign up to one process
Post-redesign, we expect completion rates to rise to 75%, increasing monthly sales. The check out process is cut down to one.
The company has a functional mobile and web app which can accommodate large users.
The challenge is to improve the app’s conversion rate, to achieve this the app aesthetic and functionality was improved
What Didn't Works When Addressing User Pain Points
Users wants are numerous, we couldn't fix everything our users demanded for. What we couldn't resolve now is:
Personalization
❌ We intend to allow users to schedule delivery but this didn't work in this phase, we shifted it to secod phase. We need to study our users to see how seamless the check out is for now
What I Learned
Understanding User Needs
Users prioritize speed and convenience, they want to find items quickly and check out with minimal effort. Also, Many users prefer a familiar shopping experience (e.g., categorized navigation, search filters, and easy reordering).
