By conducting thorough secondary research on auctions and analyzing industry reports and case studies, I created detailed personas for both baby boomers and Generation Z, understanding their distinct needs and motivations to develop a user-centric online auction platform. By delineating their goals and motivations, I gained invaluable insights into the unique requirements that could enhance the online auction platform.

The output of this endeavour is a set of comprehensive personas that portray the distinct needs, preferences, and pain points of each age group, enabling the development of a user-centric platform tailored to cater to a diverse audience.

Firstly, during the IA phase, I conceptualized the platform's appearance, incorporating features such as auction listings, discoveries, search functionality, and artist listings.
