Finding a roommate can be a stressful process.

This app aims to make that process a little easier and friendlier.

Project Objectives & Goals

Objectives

During my research, I found that the most pervasive problems that people face when looking for roommates involve either incompatible lifestyles (habits, finances) or safety concerns (catfishing, privacy). My project goals are centered around solving these issues.

Goals

Users

I found that there are two broad categories of users: individuals and groups. These categories are further subdivided by various user needs and situations.

Ideation & Framework

Ideation

I looked for inspiration in existing roommate finding services and also in similar solution spaces such as dating apps.

Framework

In order to create a cohesive logical structure that addressed my project goals, I generated multiple iterations of sketches, navigational structures, flows, and wireframes.
