Interviewee Response Summary
Date/Time/Place of Interviewee (you don’t need to write their name)
Summarized bullet points of the interviewee responses including:
emotions: Subtle.
values: Wants to find places that little kids need help in.
what is the user trying to do: Find places that need help for people who actually cant do anything about it.
current solutions: Donates to companies that help children.
deficiencies of current solutions: Does not get to physically help.
typical source of advice/knowledge: Have an option to not only help with time. But, also have option for people to donate to certain companies that are authorized so that people who do not have time can participate.
Analysis:
All people want to help and give back to the community somehow. Most people did not have an avenue to find places to volunteer and find places that actually need help. People said that they would be more inclined to help if they knew where help was needed. Interview 5 did not have time so the only way they would help was with monetary compensation. Everyone wants to have a convenient way to find places to volunteer since they do not want to go out of their way.
Reflection:
The pattern I noticed is that everyone wants to filter by their zip code. So that they can find places that are closer to them.
Everyone wanted to have an app that alerts them according to the needs.
The more reminders, the better it is.
