Hypothesis
In order to have an understanding of design software and its features, a user should have all the learnings saved in one platform which allows them to use the information when it’s needed. By putting shortcuts and functions for various design software and services which would be beneficial for students and working professionals who would like to increase their skills in the design field. The usage of this service will incorporate the validation for learned skills and can increase the learning possibility for similar software in the field.

Methodology
The research consisted of nine different interviews with users who were design students or connected with the design field in one or another way. The interviews were run on Zoom or in person according to the availability of the participant. The Interview consisted of 6-8 foundation questions and from there I asked a few follow-up questions in order to get more insights from the user. On top of that, I brought some Lo-Fi sketches in order to get some feedback from the users as well.

Data Collection
Semi-structured interviews with each participant were conducted, focusing on their experiences with design softwares and their thoughts on the idea of a skill-saving platform. I also asked participants to complete a survey that included questions about their current Skill learning platforms, their attitudes toward skill-based learning and connecting with experts in the field, and their preferences for a platform that could help them showcase their skills.
