Key features

  • Demographic profile (Age, Occupation, etc.)
  • Specific goals and motivations
  • Pain points and frustrations
  • Preferred tools and technology

Pro tips

  • ›Base personas on real user research and interviews, not assumptions.
  • ›Give your persona a real name and photo to make them memorable.
  • ›Refer back to personas during design and feature prioritization decisions.
