Julieta Griguol - POLI2FUTURE

The goal of this project was to create an easy-to-use system to manage transactions within the campus and to facilitate the exchange of money between students, while helping them to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
To do so we designed a mobile application to foster sustainable behaviors by easing financial management in the university community and also within the city.

Throughout the development of this project I realized how important it is to validate each step with the users. I experienced how the product iterated to shape the meaning, experiences and functionality that the PoliMi community was looking for.
The users are the ones who lead the way, with this approach I think it is better to start with a few basic functionalities and by talking with the users we can gradually adapt and evolve the product according to their needs.
Furthermore, I learned that abstract concepts such as sustainability have different meanings for each person, so we cannot propose classifications on which specific activities are sustainable or not.
