📩 The following case study is a real-world project I conducted. I do not work for, nor am I affiliated with the Busan Gukje Art Street organization. This UX case study was a valuable learning experience for me to solve the real-life problem of the unique offline marketplace and make it better. In addition, some of the painting images used are copyrighted by Hyunjoo Im, the Art Street artist, who I interviewed and allowed me to present for this self-initiated project.
