Research & Process
Project Information
New York is a place where every square inch is precious, yet I witness significant resource waste daily. For international art students, the prices of art supplies at local stores are notably high. Simultaneously, many art materials, whether bought for personal use or to meet course requirements, often go unused, resulting in considerable waste. I aim to create a platform connected to the school’s system to facilitate second-hand trading among art students, reducing their financial burden and addressing the problem of wasted art supplies.
Tool Used

Background Research
We consume vast resources and purchase expensive materials that are often used for only a few classes.
This inefficiency led me ask: should we rethink our patterns of consumption?
High cost of art supplies creates burden to art students. In recent years, inflation and the pandemic have caused prices of good to flactuate. With evolving global risks, the price of many materials such as wood, metals, and acrylic were skyrocketed.

User Persona
Affinity Diagram
Affinity Diagram assists me to further finalize the function of my prospected app:
Patch! promotes on-campus trading of second-hand art supplies and textbooks based on instructors, subjects, and product categories. Patch!’s website encourages students to upload their artworks that was made out of second-hand products they are selling. The platform will incorporate artificial intelligence to provide art inspirations and pre-phrased chatting responses.
Key Features Include:
SVA student exclusive
Special filters
Packaged Supplies
Provide Inspiration (user upload works/AI generated search results)
Pre-phrased responses
On-campus meetup
