Our team conducted two sets of user interviews and multiple stakeholder sessions.
During our user interview process we asked questions such as:
- What do you need to feel supported as an early design professional?
- What are some struggles you currently experience entering the creative industry?
- What do you need to feel supported as an early design professional?
- What are some struggles you currently experience entering the creative industry?
From our user interviews emerged our problem statement, based on a recurring juxtaposition:

Yet, they want to be involved and have meaningful connections with other designers & professionals."
How might we make networking less intimidating for new designers?
Answer: By integrating before event preparation tools
