Anchored in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12 or “Responsible Consumption and Production”, specifically its sub-target 12.5 which states that "By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse”, and needfinding data from 160+ survey respondents,
We constructed a mobile app prototype that has three main features:
1. Digital Categorization of Clutter Help
2. Connection to Recycling/Donation Orgs
3. Connection for Peer-to-Peer Donations
This experience ignited my passion for validated learning and constructing user-centered apps that actually make an impact on sustainability and day-to-day life.
