Observation

Observation Report Summery

23 years old Juliana Chan is a single woman living in NYC with a roommate,
February 6, 2006, I visited her at 9AM, and started documenting with a digital camera.
In general, she was busy to be ready to go to work. Walking around the room and the bathroom constantly, she was trying to find stuff that she needed to put on her. At the same time, She tried to keep the neat environment in her room—making her bed and changing the air. The tiny closet space in her bathroom was her the only place to store her precious cosmetics even though she wanted a nice consol she can seat down and place her cosmetics and do her makeup.
Lack of organization system in her closet made her having hard time finding the stuff that she needed. She walked across the room for many times to reach her dresser, desk, closet and bathroom. She was literally ‘entered’ the closet to grab a pair of gloves, a stocking and under wears. She considered the weather and how to look appropriate for the work while she was dressing up.
