I created this mobile app prototype to help parents find available supplies and discounts for baby items. This app was created during the formula shortage in the U.S. in my interaction design course.
Problem: There was a formula shortage across the U.S. At the time I had a son less than a year old. I breastfed my son so I didn't have a need for formula, but I saw friends struggle with the shortage.
Goals: Help parents find the formula they are looking for. Different stores have different formulas in stock and some people require a specialized formula. Help families find discounts and assist with shopping. Help families find any resources they may need.
Issues during the process: I found myself forgetting about men. As a woman I have an unconscious bias and kept forgetting that there could be single fathers or if fathers do the shopping or any other type of family structure that might not be what I experience.
