My First User Persona
To hire Cooper to create personas can be costly. I worked for a company who did and I've seen their work. It's quite impressive. Now, on my own as a consultant, I wanted to learn more about them by actually creating them myself and applying them to my own work. I would have to devise my own version, without the resources Cooper has. My biggest resource was my own imagination. Armed with everything I could possibly read on the subject, I applied a user persona on a project for a client who wanted to rebuild their existing website. I knew the business and some functional specifications for their website. They had little usable demographic data on their users, so I made up one persona and acted out my role as a web user behaving as the user persona I created. It was very interesting!
