UX UI/ Mobile App Development
MUNDO
Mundo is a sustainability app that helps the user save money while creating sustainable habits in daily life.
Overview
People are aware of the problem the Earth is facing but don’t know how one person can make a difference and assume living sustainably is expensive when it can actually a money saver.
Problem
Mundo helps heads of households manage their shopping finances and track how much money they’re saving while saving the planet.
Solution
The process involved 16 informational interviews with young adults and heads of households through affinity mapping, journey mapping, defining user types and personas, defining user flows, creating wireframes, and prototyping.
Process
“I’m afraid of the world my kids, my grandkids and their kids are going to live in. This year has been the hottest year on record of earth and it’s only getting worse by the year.
”
About 80% of the items that Americans throw away can be recycled. Only 28% of it gets recycled. If resources continue to be exploited at the current rate, the world is set to run out of natural resources in 30 years.
Covid-19 offers an opportunity to build recovery plans that can influence current trends and change our production/consumption toward a more sustainable future. Although it is a dividing topic between generations, primary motivators are feel-good feelings and saving money.
Conclusion
I learned a bit more about sustainability and how I can practice it in my own life.
