My prototypical customer for my service are businesspeople and humane society workers. These people are just regular people, but they're very attached to their jobs. As far as the businesspeople go, they are middle-class workers who in this case, are traveling away from home. They're probably going to have a week full of long meetings, and then come back to their hotel rooms to watch tv or just relax after a long day. A lot of them probably have families and pets of their own waiting for them back home. As far as the people from the humane society, they are animal lovers who don't mind putting in hard work. They probably watch a lot of the Discovery channel. Both groups probably drive either an SUV or a little car that is economical. The humane society workers are generally people aged in their 20-30s along with some teenaged volunteers, while the businesspeople are probably aged somewhere in their 30-50s. Because of all these things, I chose to make the avatar professional-looking and average, while also putting her hair up so it doesn't get in her way when she's playing with the pets.
I relate to this avatar in the way that I'm often very busy and most of my weeks feel really long. I drive a little car, ad absolutely love pets. I don't really think this is a coincidence, because the root of my idea was because of my passion for animals, so it would make sense for the overlap that occurs between myself and the customer avatar.
Chloe, I enjoyed reading your blog post and liked how much detail you put into it. And I thought it was cool how you overlapped with your customer avatar some. This shows how you can relate to them and understand where they may be coming from. I thought your explanation of why they drive an SUV helped to illustrate the person you were depicting.
