Client Request
Our “Koinoike” project aims to educate, inform, and promote the interest of keeping and appreciating koi decorative fish. Yet, raising koi is time-consuming and requires more than sprinkling little flakes in the fishbowl. We aim to build a Koi-keeping network for mutual support of the interest among our clients. We need an app or mobile website to support those who keep, raise, and appreciate the beauty of koi and are interested in doing so in a substantial, eco-friendly way.

Next Steps
After conducting usability tests for the existing prototype, my next step is to conduct user research with Koi enthusiasts. I will conduct user interviews with the primary focus of developing an understanding of users' pre-existing knowledge of koi upon app download, as this will directly impact the necessary extent of information and guidance the app should offer. In addition, I plan to enhance the community-building prospect of the app by fostering increased social connections, allowing Koi enthusiasts to engage and connect with one another.
