USER BEHAVIOUR
USER BEHAVIOUR
User Behaviour explores the habits, expectations, and challenges experienced by individuals within the online thrifting community. Through conversations, surveys, and observations of frequent thrift shoppers and sellers, I gained insights into how users discover products, communicate, build trust, and manage transactions. These findings helped identify recurring pain points and opportunities that informed the direction and features of Renoir.

The ideation phase focused on translating research insights into a functional user experience. User personas were developed for both buyers and sellers to better understand their goals, motivations, and challenges within the thrifting ecosystem. These personas informed the creation of user flows and information architecture, helping define how users would navigate the platform, interact with one another, and complete key tasks. The goal was to design an intuitive experience that addressed the unique needs of both audiences while creating a seamless connection between them.
