Our group wants to study how to help graduating student maintain or develop connections. Here’s the proto-persona I get for my interviewee LL. She’s a introvert graduating cs master who wants to more sociable. Although she tried going to different social events, they do not help with her shyness to start a conversation. Now she stopped pushing herself into uncomfortable social interactions.

From her reports to the baseline study, I made the following journey map to picture her social behaviors in 5 days. She hopes to find people to hang out with and she’s after good conversations. She had good interactions on Monday, Tuesday and Friday, mostly because she gathered with friends and met friends of friends. Food party is her favorite place to meet people because she feels relaxed to talk to people. On Wednesday and Thursday she only had classes and thought there’s no social life at all.
