Conceptual App/ User Experience
The idea started with the question of how to share podcast recommendations with friends. The idea then blossomed into a social notepad of media recommendations. Gone are the days when the clerk would recommend music or movie based on what you like. Today, algorithms guide our experience of media. Sheyr would remove the algorithm and function through word of mouth. I formed a competitive audit using Netflix, Spotify, Pandora, and Likewise. Conducted user research on how people saved recs, made personas and journey maps, and formed an early draft of the recommendation app. The app would also let users compile lists of their own recommendations they encounter naturally.
