MHCI Capstone 2016
Buying time is an 8 month capstone project researched and designed by a team of five as part of Carnegie Mellon’s Masters of Human Computer Interaction. Working with our industry partner, LH ventures, our team solved a complex, pressing business problem for off-price retail buyers and vendors. Our research identified opportunities to help both buyers and vendors work more efficiently, without sacrificing the thrill of a good deal. Our service platform improves the current retail buying process, and creates new benefits not offered by any other tool on the market.
