As a dog lover, I found shopping for dog supplies online to be an overwhelming and frustrating experience. Popular dog store apps like Chewy, PetSmart, and PetCo were cluttered, slow, and difficult to navigate. The time-consuming process of adding items to the cart, combined with the abundance of choices, made the experience tedious. Inspired by these pain points, I designed PawCart, a user-friendly and efficient dog store app focused on simplifying the shopping experience for dog owners.

To understand the pain points, I conducted surveys and interviews with dog owners who regularly shop online for their dogs. The key takeaways from my research were:
Frustration with complex navigations: Users often feeling overwhelmed by products, offers and options
Time-consuming: Many users disliked how long it takes them to add a product to the cart and checkout
Wanting more simplicity: Users expressed that they prefer cleaner, minimalistic design
