Problem Statement
Dublin is a beautiful city, but because of things like the growing population, transportation and increasing consumerism, it has contributed significantly to pollution. Many citizens are 23 aware of the problem and hence willing to adopt more cleanliness and sustainability practices but are lacking know-how and awareness, which are generally scattered across different websites, social media, and local groups. This makes it difficult to find a sustainable community, learn about environmental issues, and take action to mitigate per capita consumption towards a greener future. To solve this, Dublin needs a single, easy-to-use platform that brings all these resources together in one place and helps them in a sustainable journey.
Vision Statement
Green Dublin envisions a vibrant, sustainable city where everyone can live and work in environmentally friendly ways. We aim to create a single platform that brings together all the information on eco-friendly practices, resources, and knowledgeable information, making it easy for people to join Dublin’s green journey
To ensure that Green Dublin effectively addresses the needs and concerns of the community, we implemented a comprehensive research strategy targeting a broad demographic of Dublin residents aged 18 to 65.

This project helped me understand how important coding skills are for UX designers. If a design can’t be implemented, it loses its value. After this project I feel more confident about how things are built. I got to handle everything from research and ideas to design and development. Owning the whole process gave me a clearer view of how UX decisions shape the final product. I also learned new tools to bring my ideas to life. User interviews and research had their own challenges, but seeing the final product made it all worth it.
