This case study aims to analyse the sustainable
future to create an artefact for people. The
greenhouse effect is essential to life on the planet.
However, human-made emissions are gradually
heating the Earth, and it will be irrevocable. To
fight against climate change, a group of post-
graduate students on the MA User Experience
Design at Falmouth University formed the team,
Bumblebee. The mission is to motivate individuals
to contribute to our natural environment.

4. Project Management
As a project manager, I am responsible for ensuring the delivery of a quality product. ââAt the âformingâ stage
of the team, we were struggling to kick-start the project. I created a Gantt chart for the project plan so that
we can have an overview at a glance.

5. Project Management
By breaking the project into manageable processes, it ensures a clear division of work and everyone can have a
better focus on the correct items. In addition to the Gantt chart, I also updated the tasks in Trello to track the
progress and record details, such as records of discussions and comments.

7. Rapid Ideation Plan
Even though we have a detailed plan that well
considers the design process and has a buffer for
the task durations, the project was not running as
smoothly as expected due to many uncertain
factors. For instance, we researched on lots of
market facts and it is difficult to converge into one
idea directly as we have different notions.
To move forward faster, I formed a rapid ideation
workshop to help us find out our distinct direction
in FigJam, an online ideation tool. The goal of the
workshop is to spark innovation and bring the team
together to openly discuss and share ideas on the
project topic.

Chose to move forward with the idea of encouraging a
sustainable lifestyle by analysing usersâ spending habits
and inviting them to review the environmental impact
of their existing habits. The programme will be
incentivised with rewards (e.g. discounts) and
gamification so users can compete against each other.
14. Rapid Ideation Plan
User Interview Guide
Hypothesis
Lack of action by companies leads to employees
having to figure out their own ways of contributing
to sustainability. Therefore, if we ease the friction
between ambition and action by providing solutions
and rewards, companies may be able to contribute
at large towards sustainability and net zero carbon
emissions.
Method
Stakeholder Interview (Anonymous)
Participan
4 Business Owner
4 Employees
Research Goal
To understand how business owners and employees
engage in sustainable activities, the problems they
face and how they resolve them at the moment.
Notes
Before starting with the following questions, ease
people into the conversation in the beginning. Ask
them about themselves and their day etc. Collect
demographic information only if you feel they are
necessary.

Reframe Problem Statement
18 © Camilla Wong All Rights Reserved.
SMEs feel uncertain about quantifying and reducing
their businessâs carbon emissions. They need to better
understand the businessâs impact on the environment
and drive their corporate social responsibility goals, but
find it difficult to encourage and maintain employee
participation.
20. Design System
From the beginning of the project, the consistency of the
whole design is critical. I created the foundation of the
design library. I defined the input field in the status of
default, selected, and filled; primary button and secondary
button; page title and description; icons; navigation bar;
header, etc. Likewise, I jotted a comment to my teammates
in Figma and Trello, about how we could collaborate to
work on the componentsâ library when we are sketching
the wireframe. It is good to centralise all component
masters in a place that would help to modify it in the
future.

Bees are productive, they cooperate to build their

a positive impact to society.

26. Pitch Preparation
Pitching is an opportunity that enables you to present your business
proposal to investors. We got a opportunity to pitch our solution to
industry judges.
For the pitch preparation, I shared my experience of a pitch to angel
investors that encompass an executive summary, key highlights,
organisational structure, the problem, the solution, market
segmentation, unique selling point, competitive analysis, business
model, revenue model, growth strategy, marketing strategy, financial
summary, use of funds, and exit strategy. I also shared some pitch
examples for teammate to in-depth understand the pitching content.
For the past several years, I have participated in various funding
applications. I have successfully received fundings totalling to HKD
50,000, and financial support of up to HKD1.29 million to cover
technology and business development expenses.

Who I am
I have been in tech for over 12 years and my specialty lies in
SaaS in domains of AI and ML. I lead a rather minimalistic
lifestyle and most of time is spent on work or working out. I
like keeping fit, so I cycle about the city whenever I head
out.
I enjoy being an entrepreneur and I give everything to my
company and our employees. We work with passion. When it
comes to environmental sustainability, we do our part by
reducing, recyling and reusing whatever we can. I think CSR
is an ethical and moral responsibility of all corporates.

Interview
I really like that you took time to interview
potential users for your product, and that you
had a chance to interview 4 business owners and
4 employees. Generally speaking, itâs best
practice to define who your target audience is at
this stage: without this, it can be hard to focus
your design efforts appropriately.
Target Audience
If youâre going to pitch to investors, a customer profile lets investors know that you clearly understand who youâre targeting. The
customer profile is a brief description of your ideal consumer and includes information about interests, preferences, purchasing
behaviour, etc. The narrower your target audience is, the more sales it usually brings. Micro-targeting allows you to run very
specific, relevant, and effective strategies.
A good persona typically consist of five parts
Needs and goals. What is your persona trying to do, why and by when
Motivations. What are their key triggers and barriers? What influences their thinking? And do they have an actual need or
feeling pressure from elsewhere
Behaviours. Where do they find information? Is your persona spontaneous or do they research and plan every detail? What
media channels do they like to use
Pain points or frustrations. It helps you understand what the users donât like.
Quotes and pictures. Bring your personas to life.

Problem Slide
A bit hard to follow which bits are being talked
about, as similar language is used to describe all
of them. They are good, distinct point but the
presentation should emphasise the distinction.
Suggestion to visually present them sequentially
as they are being introduced, instead of at the
same time, as well sharpening the wording
Is the app running the sustainability
certification? How is it qualified to do so?
As an employee, why would I want my
employer to monitor my private purchases???
Can I use this as an individual without my
company being signed up? It sounds like it?
Summary
On the whole a good presentation, and I get the
appeal of the product. However, I am left with
concerns about the feasibility of the product that
was pitched.
Problem Slide
I really want an example on how this works in
practise â what sort of sustainability efforts
can I as a company track through the app?
I would imagine that evaluating and
quantifying the environmental impact of
everyday purchases to be quite difficult,
especially if not limited to a single type of
product. How is Bumblesbees planning to go
about it?
Privacy Concerns
The proposition to employees is to have their shopping monitored by a
company app. There is no mention around how to alleviate privacy
concerns around the tracking, handling, and processing this very
personal data.
How can all the possible different purchases be accurately assessed
from an environmental impact perspective? There are schemes for
certain types of products, but not all. How and which metrics will be
used across item categories?
It would be good to get a working example of what variables would be
tracked for two different businesses. As a prospective client, I would
want to have a clear vision of how it would apply to my organisation. I
get a good idea of how the apps helps me monitor my employees
actions, but not how it will track the actual companyâs actions.

Malin Senior UX Designer at Bluefruit Software
I'm Malin, I'm from Sweden and have lived in the UK for the last decade. I started
off working as a designer in advertising, but quickly transitioned towards web
design and have worked with UX design the last 5-6 years. I've worked for
companies in various industries in Sweden, New Zealand and here in the UK â
including sustainability, whistleblowing, and e-commerce. I have a vocational
degree in art direction (a field within advertising and marketing), a bachelorâs
degree in interaction design, and I've studied independent courses in ethnology,
linguistics, psychology and more. I love to learn and have an insatiable curiosity
about humans which is why I've landed in the field of UX design. Since March Iâve
been working as a senior UX designer at Bluefruit, a software development
company in Redruth with clients all over the world, and am currently in the
process of training a team of software engineers, testers and analysts in the UX
design process.
Malinâs Comment
41. Retrospective
In the middle of the module, LJ suggested having a
retrospective to continually enhance our work cycle.
We brainstormed ways to improve productivity and
boost efficiency during analysing the work process.
This retrospective was a chance to share our true
thoughts. I sometimes felt lost on how we could
move forward, which was similar to one of the
comments. We might have been in the
âperformingâ stage in Tuckman's theory, which
often comes with crunch and burnout.

42. Appreciation
I was surprised by my teamâs appreciation when they saw my effort on project management and it is
reflected in the project progress, this also encourages me to keep improving.

Camillaâs project managment
skills have been amazing,
helping us all understand due
dates, tasks, and is always
willing to help.
Camilla makes sure we are
always in track and goes the
extra mile to make sure we
are. Camillaâs proactiveness
has kept me sane.
Thank you to Camilla for
organising the Project Plan
sheet and Trello board. This
has really helped with our
direction and knowing what
to do each week.
43. Six Thinking Hats
Even though we might have some challenges, we hold a strong and positive attitude to overcome it together.
During this practice as a leader, I always thought about âHow we could do betterâ. It also applied to my day
work, to enrich a broad thinking on particular viewpoints with Six Thinking Hats. This theory, was written by Dr.
Edward de Bono, is used to offer broad thinking on particular viewpoints. It helped me think about instinctive
positions, and I could explore a range of perspectives.

44. Final Pitch
Conclusion
In this project, we fine-tuned our archetype as a corporate impact solution
that allows employees to track corporate expenses and optimise spending
by the corporate credit card. My strength is that I have 5 years of
experience in designing user experience and interfaces for various
projects. This has given me an understanding of the importance of the user
needs. I did 6 banking projects including financial regulators in Hong Kong
and international banks in the past 3 years and I found my pathway in this
industry. I am passionate about green finance projectsâ
, especially this one
as it aims to change peopleâs habits in their daily lives.
Eventually, we did the final pitch, and we were really satisfied with the final
outcome. Everyone was very supportive and stuck together throughout the
process, making it a successful project. I look forward to seeing this app
being developed in the future if there should be a chance. I hope that
technology can be used to improve peopleâs lives and the environment at
the same point.

45. Reflection
I think that the whole team has grown very fast in the module of Co-Creative Design & Development Practice
because of the wholeness of the project. We formed a team rapidly and validated our MVP (Minimum Viable
Product) from industry experts, target users and tutor. Even though I struggled with thoughts of self-doubt
and barriers, I kept learning to stay ahead. Refer to golden circle from Simon Sinek, starting with why, that
comes from within myself, to drive me to take more meaningful action.
Working on projects for work and my studies in parallel was definitely a tough job. However, it was a good
experience for me to push myself forward and find joy in my work. I totally enjoyed working with my team,
hence I did not feel that the work was tedious or hard in any way. In particular, I have strengthened my
leadership, project management, communication and strategic thinking skill in this project. In the future, I hope
to apply the knowledge and skills that I have learnt from the course to my work and daily life. I will continue to
explore different aspects of User Experience and keep an eye on social issues to use technology to help the
society.
