**This project is strictly under NDA**
The SDN YTB envisions a vibrant community of global service design students and young professionals, connected and empowered to shape the future of the industry. Through accessible collaboration and learning, we aim to bridge the gap between education and professional practice, fostering diversity and equity in service design.
In the realm of Service Design: Once upon a time, a fresh need emerged, accompanied by a daunting challenge. In the vast landscape of service design, there was a noticeable absence—a dedicated platform to guide and mentor eager learners in this exciting new field.
Enter the UX case study project – a quest to reshape this narrative. The UX challenge is evident in the presence of a noticeable gap: a lack of a comprehensive digital platform that functions as its own ecosystem. Imagine a space where users not only receive mentorship but also engage with the community and master the intricacies of the service design industry.
Through immersive research and design thinking, the problem identified was that 68.8% of users encountered mentorship journeys deviating due to insufficient initial communication regarding career guidance and skill development.
An opportunity: How might we design a mentorship website that guides users through an impactful journey, empowering them in the field of service design?

Uncovering the root problems in mentoring and service design to inform a digital solution was a complex journey filled with challenges but also rich with potential.
As we set sail into the vast sea of research, our compass led us to key objectives: decision-making intricacies, diverse perspectives, motivational drivers, the flexibility yet structured conundrum, and the existing gaps among the competitors' digital products. These were the compass points guiding our ship towards a transformative destination.
The expedition to find the ‘who, what, why, where, when and how’.
Who is facing the issues with the digital realm?
Why do they desire the resolution of those issues and the benefits they hope to gain from it?
Where is the user when they're using the product?
What are the needs, and pain points in general?
When do they encounter these challenges?
How will the solution impact the users' work and their daily lives?
