The customer is a doctor who recently returned from maternity leave. She had difficulty pumping at work due to the cumbersome process of accessing the lactation room and lack of amenities inside like sinks and filters. She would like an app to easily locate and schedule lactation rooms that have changing tables, pumps, sinks, trashcans, and fridges. The rooms should be spacious and have an easy access system. The app design should always keep the mother's needs and comfort in mind.
