Understanding access
Our research covered connectivity, device access, digital confidence, and the availability of spaces where women could use technology comfortably. We chose a cafe model that combined computers and internet access with in-person support, so the proposal had to account for the room itself as well as the technology inside it.
We included opening hours, staffing, safety, equipment maintenance, and the training offered at each location in the pilot plan. Those decisions determined how many people the first cafe could support and what it could provide on a normal day after the launch event was over.
Planning the service
The pilot report set out what the first locations would offer, how they could operate, and how the service might expand toward 2026. We kept the initial model concentrated in urban areas where a pilot could reach enough users to evaluate demand, then described the partnerships and operating resources that later locations would need.
We connected each programme to a concrete use of the space, from basic computer access to guided digital-skills sessions, then listed the equipment and staff required to run it. This kept the proposed schedule tied to the capacity of the first location.
Connecting the interface
I worked on the Figma interface concepts and connected them to the pilot report so the digital experience reflected services that would actually exist at each location. The screens helped users understand the available resources and sessions, while the physical cafe remained the centre of the proposal.
We checked every interface feature against the pilot plan before keeping it. A session shown in the design needed an instructor and a place in the schedule, while a device booking needed equipment the first location could realistically provide.
