Reflecting on the design process for Savor, this project offered a rewarding challenge, pushing us to address the design brief effectively within a tight timeframe. With guidance from a single QA session with mentors, we leaned into collaboration and rapid iteration to bring our concept to life. Although we achieved a solid outcome, additional feedback sessions could have provided further insights to refine our approach.

Our user testing focused on qualitative methods like Think Aloud sessions and open-ended questions, to understand user behaviours and expectations. Ethical considerations also played a crucial role, especially regarding partnerships with grocery stores. Transparency around data privacy and user consent, alongside avoiding incentives that could lead to overconsumption, would be essential to maintain user trust and support sustainable habits.

Working under significant time constraints taught me the importance of prioritisation and leveraging existing knowledge when designing under pressure. This experience helped me strengthen skills in fast prototyping, priority indexing, and effective collaboration within a diverse team.
