Ideation Session

Framing the problem

In the beginning of the session, we introduced the participants to current workflow of creating media galleries on Pub7. Then we walked the participants through the users' journey, accompanied by the questions to be solved at each step. The questions were to guide the participants to think in the perspective of the users and ultimately solve the specific painpoints.
