How We Reached There: The Journey of FurniEase

How We Reached There: The Journey of FurniEase

FurniEase began with a simple question: Why is renting furniture still so complicated? Through user interviews & competitor analysis, I uncovered key pain points—confusing interfaces, rigid plans & lack of trust. This project was rooted in empathy, driven by research, and shaped by the everyday struggles of young, mobile users.

I began with pen-and-paper sketches to explore layout structure, followed by digital low-fidelity wireframes. This phase helped me validate the app flow, user needs, and hierarchy without being distracted by visuals.
