Low-fi

Based on the established points, We sketched multiple options to test and see how by initiating minimal changes to optimize the user experience. During the process, we continued referring to the target audience, company mission, revenue model, and our goal to focus on how to improve the user experience. After a few rounds of iterations, we came to a good place with the solutions.

Impact

R Living started as a dream of creating an inspiring community living space where we live together, laugh over a cup of coffee and cry over a heartbreak. It is a place where we celebrate our happiest moments and sit beside each other during tough times…

We are one big family.
