Streamlining washer-dryer experience
Washer and Dryer Combined
Laundry tends to be one of the least liked chores in every household, and that dislike for laundry only multiplies when you are forced to make a trip to the laundromat just to have clean clothes. On the other hand, washer dryer combos can make this chore more convenient, allowing you to never go to the laundromat again.
Audience
Laundry has the broadest auditory, with 51% of people that started doing laundry before they were 18. Women are 45% more likely than men to do the laundry. Combined washer-drier is a solution for home and personal use, so it's shared with family members and roommates.
Goal
Context
- When their dirty clothes pile up
- When a user needs a specific item, but it's dirty
- When an unexpected stain occurs
- On laundry day
User stories
Brainstorming
My journey of making washer-dryer combos easier to use began with a fun round of the "crazy 8's" brainstorming technique. I then took the best parts of these ideas and turned them into solid solutions through voting and sketching.
Styles
Geometric sans serif fonts have been a popular choice among designers for some time now. Poppins is one of the latest additions to this classic style.
Custom illustrations for every cycle
Final designs
My goal was to create a home screen that makes laundry as simple as possible. I made each cycle stand out visually, so users could pick the right one in a flash. And for those who need more info, I added a handy chart that's easy to scan. Plus, you can create custom cycles and add your favorites for even more convenience.
Add light adjustments or change everything; it's up to you. The point is you can understand what will happen and how long it will take. With the delay start function, you can make everything fit your schedule.
Take it easy, we've got you covered. The timer and animations will keep you in the loop on what's happening with your laundry. And notifications will remind you when it's time to pick up the laundry.
