Printo Web Prototype and
User Research
Months long project researching printing UX issues at Northeastern.
Typography 2 class project
using type as image.
As a graphic design student at Northeastern, I was required on many occasions to print out
my work for better visual understanding and critique. I thought it was very valuable for me to
see exactly how the elements of my composition were interacting, the texture and weight of
body text, etc.
Unfortunately printing at Northeastern sucked, so I went about trying to fix it. Through my
interviews and questionnaires, I found that the printing portal was outdated and clunky, and
students had a hard time understanding where and how to print given chronic printer
malfunctions and disorganized documentation.
Printo sought to consolidate information, streamline printing experience, and offer a live
printer support map displaying available and out of order printers on campus. Below is
a brief demo of the prototype.
I made this entirely in Figma.
My experience at Cisco Brewers has been
incredibly valuable, allowing me to put to the
test the rapid iteration and multimedia workflow
of my experience in my formative design roles.
During my time here I have developed and
maintained a Dropbox asset library shared
across teams for highly collaborative
production, consulted on and designed large
format signage and menu displays, and
rapidly created social media and print
assets for seasonal event promo.
