Choose a simple, familiar object and quickly frame your redesign around a clear user need or pain point. Walk through a structured product thinking process—from identifying the problem to proposing a solution—while staying adaptable and open to feedback. Keep the scope realistic and tie your redesign to business value or customer impact.
Pro tip: Pick an object that allows you to demonstrate both creativity and practicality—avoid overly complex items. Show how you'd validate the redesign with users or data, which signals product maturity.
Choose a common object in your room and briefly describe its current purpose and typical usage. This sets a clear baseline for your redesign.
Articulate specific problems or inefficiencies users experience with the object. Frame these as unmet needs or jobs-to-be-done.
Generate a few creative yet feasible redesign concepts that address the pain points. Prioritize ideas based on impact and feasibility.
Select one idea and describe the redesigned object in detail, highlighting how it improves the user experience and delivers value.
Explain how you would test the redesign with users and measure success (e.g., usability tests, satisfaction scores, adoption rates).
