Challenge

This project was to design, prototype and build a web application for Vibe Residential that helps people find compatible roommates and a place to live all on one site, by using a combination of personal characteristics and apartment preferences and leveraging all apartment listings, not just sublets to make matching suggestions.

Process

design sprints, allowing for several rounds of customer feedback

1 - ideal customer profiles

identifying primary target customers informed the UX design & entire process

2 - customer journey

user stories identified during rapid brainstorm sessions to inform UX design and maintain product focus

3 - storyboard sketches

helped translate customer stories to a user experience on an interface

4 - low-fidelity clickable prototype

provided a means to efficiently test a dynamic user experience early in our process

5 - high-fidelity clickable prototype

provided an interactive means to test an initial UI design before writing a line of code
