Personas
From our interviews, we created a set of personas that embodied users’ overarching characteristics, skill sets, pain points, and goals. The personas guided future work in Open Hallway by providing a deeper understanding of user motives and contextualizing their actions and desires. Although boiling down our entire target user group into two hypothetical people seems impractical, these provided appropriate guidelines for the features that potential users would want in the final design.
The group created polished personas based off the provisional versions.

Constant scrolling and media consumption takes a mental toll on users
