Insight Application - Case Study
This case study shows the project, created by our team, focuses on sustainability through an energy consumption app. By offering insights and tools for efficient energy use, the app empowers users to adopt sustainable habits, manage their energy consumption, and reduce their environmental impact. It addresses everyday energy waste, helping users lower their electric bills while contributing to a healthier environment.
Problem
Solution
To tackle energy waste and rising utility bills, we created Insight, an app that provides real-time energy monitoring. This solution empowers users to track their consumption, make informed adjustments, and adopt efficient habits to reduce costs and minimize their environmental impact. By pinpointing energy-draining appliances, Insight encourages smarter, more sustainable energy use.
User Research
We conducted interviews, surveys, and research to understand the emotional and practical challenges people face when managing their energy consumption.
User Persona
To understand the user persona and identify the core problem, we organized all the findings gathered from various research methods into an affinity diagram.
Competitor & Visual Analysis
We analyzed competitors to understand their strengths and identify opportunities for differentiation. This led us to focus on “Reliable andSustainable” solutions, with insights visualized for clearer competitor positioning.
Mid-Fidelity
Usability Testing
Usability testing revealed that some information was unclear. We improved clarity by adding clearer titles, a dropdown for navigation, and a toggle for device control, enhancing the overall user experience.
Style Tile
For our application, we chose colors that reflect these adjectives “Trust and Comfort,” paired with a clear, easy-to-read font to ensure users have a reliable and smooth experience.

Conclusion
In conclusion, developing the Insight app has been a meaningful and rewarding experience. As my final project, it provided an opportunity to apply everything I’ve learned throughout the bootcamp, from initial research to final design, allowing me to build on my skills and gain valuable insights. While some features were limited by time, we’ve planned future updates, such as monitoring various energy sources like solar energy.
