Case Study: 

Rune Recommender

Goals of this Case Study

• Showcase how I can elevate player usability concerns and motivate design pivots towards increased accessibility

• Display my ability to interview users and identify opportunity areas

• Explain how I measure usability and define metrics of success 

TLDR;

I co-modersated, analyzed, and prepared the presentation of results for a usability test that spanned 1 month and hosted 7 participants. The key goal of the project was to identify the user's desire for a rune recommendation system integrated into the gaming client, and determine whether the draft interface met the user's need state. My exploratory interviewing and draft interface usability testing gave the design team the information they needed to address player accessibility issues and optimize product flow before release.
