Recyclette
Role: Product designer – user research, wireframes, prototyping, testing, and UI design.
🎯 Problem
How to create a fast app experience for buying and reselling second-hand children's clothing?
In a world where responsible consumption is becoming a priority, second-hand clothing represents a sustainable and economical alternative. However, for young parents, buying second-hand online can be long, blurry, and unreliable.
Recyclette is a platform for reselling children's clothing, designed to make the experience simple, reassuring, and quick.
Project completed from September to December 2024 as part of the Google UX Certificate.

🔍 Understand the user
Parents who want the best for their children.
Users express recurring barriers to purchasing second-hand clothing:
01 / Quality of items
Users may have doubts about the quality and condition of second-hand clothing, fearing that the items do not match the description and photos.
02 / Delivery
High delivery costs and long delivery times can deter users from shopping online.
03 / Filtering and searching
Users may find the filtering and searching process ineffective, making it difficult to find specific clothing in terms of size, gender, brand, or condition.
04 / Accessibility
Users with specific accessibility needs may find the app difficult to use. Additionally, a complex or non-intuitive user interface may discourage users.

💡 Ideation
Imagine a scenario that simplifies the lives of parents looking for second-hand clothing.
Ideation is a stage of the creation process that I am passionate about. For this project, I conducted a competitive audit and crazy eights sessions to fuel my inspiration. Thanks to this research, I was able to generate multiple ideas to address my problem. Once the ideas were generated, I created a storyboard that outlines the solution I wish to design.

🧪 Let's start the design
Let's start designing a first version of the application.
Paper wireframes
I first created paper wireframes, making several iterations for each screen. Below are the different versions of the wireframes created for the home screen.

Digital Wireframes: A Research Designed with User Needs in Mind
Here are the wireframes for five screens illustrating the search and filtering system.
The user can search for an item in several ways:
Through the search bar present on the home screen for direct searching.
From the “Search” page, which offers three options:
A text search bar to type a specific query.
A thematic search, with contextual labels like “Holidays”, which groups summer clothing and beach accessories by season.
A category search, allowing filtering by type of clothing (e.g., pants, coats, shoes…).
This system has been designed to adapt to parents' browsing habits: some prefer to get straight to the point, while others like to be guided by suggestions or explore by theme.

Low-Fidelity Prototype
The prototype incorporates all the key steps of the user journey for purchasing: a home screen, a search screen (offering three different search methods), a results screen (with filters and a save search option), and a dedicated item page that allows users to save items to favorites or add them to the cart.

🧪 Let's redefine design
User testing
Once the prototype was completed, I conducted tests with 5 users corresponding to our target audience. Their feedback allowed us to adjust several key elements of the interface. For example, we added a counter on the cart icon so that users could quickly see the number of items added.
During registration, the application prompts users to save information about their children (size, shoe size...) in order to provide personalized recommendations. However, some participants expressed reluctance to provide this data without prior explanation.
To address this concern, we added a screen to contextualize the request, explain its usefulness, and clarify that this process is entirely optional.

✅ Final design
After several iterations, creating the final design.
Finally, I was able to work on the UI design by proposing a universe that is both simple and colorful.
