Ideal Wallet
Every person has their ideal wallet, some people want a lot of money, so do I, some want an expensive wallet, some want a sentimental wallet. But for me, a wallet that has money is ideal. Let me present to you. My… ideal wallet.
My ideal wallet is just small because it’s a lot easier to bring. As you can see, it’s like a wallet of a cute kindergarten girl because of its color but, the truth is, pink is my happy color it calms my soul. You will see a lot of coins because it’s less hassle especially when I ride a bus or tricycle sometimes they don’t have a change for my money. You will also notice my two Atm cards, this is important too because sometimes I spent my cash to the point that I needed a backup. And we all know that we can withdraw everywhere and anytime. On the left side, it’s my school I.D, I always have this in my wallet because it’s important nowadays especially that there’s a lot of checkpoint in every area because of the Pandemic. You will also notice the customized name in my wallet which I really wanted to have because I get traumatized before. I always lost my wallet and a customized printed name will be helpful for me to get identified. A lot of cash is what makes this cute wallet amazing because I don’t want my wallet to be empty. And what is the sense of having an expensive wallet if you don’t have cash in it?

3 Questions
1. How did talking to your interviewee inform/influence your design?
Talking to my interview enabled me to know and learn more about him. It made me more challenged and motivated to design something beautiful that my partner would like and enjoy while interacting with him. We build a rapport, and it leads to good communication with each other.
2. How did testing and getting feedback impact your final design?
Testing and getting his feedback impacted my design because as we get to know more about each other, I felt what he truly desired and needed to reach his goal and give a solution to his problem.
3. What was the most challenging part of the process for you?
For me, the most challenging part is the last one, which is building your solution or creating the prototype. Because we already had our interviews with each other before we came to this part. Also, it is the final part, and it is critical whether he wants it or not, especially it is my second time finalizing or generating a solution for the problem. With the time given, it is expected that I will become familiar with him as I delve deeper into his feelings, emotions, and remarks; also, he has already provided feedback for me to improve on my solution or prototype.
