Proto-personas & Journey maps

The adjuster persona

This persona is a busy, creative student whose posture habits are shaped by environmental triggers—uncomfortable seating, biking, and artistic routines—and a latent fear of hereditary health decline. His passive self-correction (e.g., adjusting posture during back pain) clashes with focus on tasks, leading to resignation about daily slouching. Emotional peaks—frustration in art class, guilt during commutes, and nighttime anxiety about his grandfather’s posture—reveal some design opportunities.

The forgetful persona

This persona dismisses rigid posture tools, and want things that align with his efficiency-first mindset. They are frustrated by disruptive app alerts, they favor solutions like smart glasses or gamified “posture coins” synced to existing habits (e.g., Duolingo-like streaks). His motivation wavers between irritation at intrusive tech and fleeting excitement for quantifiable progress. Their ideal solutions integrate with their workflow and leverage social comparison.
