📌 Overview

Problem

As college students, we decided to buy expensive books that tend to be used only for a semester-long. This problem expanded to the whole experience involving textbooks.

Outcome

An easy way to search and compare used textbooks to find the best option.

🔎 Research

Because our app was purposefully geared towards college students, the persona was based on our own experiences (as colleges students).
