Situation
Users struggle to track household items across rooms, especially for insurance, relocation, rentals, or decluttering.
Existing inventory apps are manual, time-consuming, or enterprise-focused.
No lightweight consumer product offered visual-first, room-based inventory management.
Task
Design an intuitive consumer app that:
Allows fast item capture using the camera
Automatically categorizes and tags items
Organizes inventory by rooms/spaces
Feels simple enough for non-technical users
Action
Conducted competitive analysis to identify gaps in consumer inventory tools (manual effort, poor UX, lack of AI).
Defined a camera-first flow to minimize typing and cognitive load.
Designed end-to-end journeys
Used inspiration from modern camera, AR, and content apps to make scanning feel delightful.
Designed scalable IA to support future features like value estimation, OCR, and collaboration.
Result
Reduced inventory creation time from minutes per item → seconds per scan.
Enabled users to catalogue entire rooms in one session, not item-by-item.
Created a clear foundation for monetization via exports, insurance use cases, and premium features.
Delivered a prototype ready for usability testing and validation.
