Students will launch the project by creating and testing paper-doll career outfits, then use evidence from a local career counselor to identify the needs of people building work wardrobes on a budget.

Students will transform evidence from the paper-doll launch and career-counselor input into a user-centered design challenge for an affordable, versatile thrift-store career wardrobe guide.

Students will use mathematical feasibility checks, career-counselor evidence, and intended-user needs to generate multiple thrift-store shopping guide concepts and select a promising direction for drafting.

Students will translate user needs, paper-doll findings, and mathematical evidence into an initial capsule wardrobe recommendation card designed for eventual use by local thrift stores.

Students will test draft thrift-store career wardrobe guides for mathematical clarity, practicality, and user desirability, then document and apply feedback from peers and local career counselors.

Students will use structured peer critique and career-counselor feedback to revise their data-supported thrift-store shopping guides before the exhibition phase.

Students will exhibit, revise, and submit data-supported thrift-store shopping guides while documenting how mathematics and community feedback shaped their final recommendations.
