UX Design project helping international students to find a roommate.
The Problem
Students all over the world are pursuing a better educational option and career in another country, where they usually have no friends or family and must deal with the challenges of a new language and culture.
The Goal
Assist international students in finding roommates in the same region where they intend to live who share similar interests, making this transitional period more enjoyable.
Role
User research, wireframing, prototyping, usability testing, iteration, and the creation of a final high-fidelity prototype.
