Roomie
Finding Compatible Roommates for University Students
Overview
Roomie simplifies the stressful process of finding a trustworthy roommate. The platform allows students to create detailed profiles, set their preferences, discover compatible matches, and communicate securely before moving in together.
Challenge
Many students struggle to find reliable roommates when moving to a new city or starting university. Existing platforms focus primarily on available rooms rather than roommate compatibility, often leading to unpleasant living experiences.
Approach
The layout was designed using spacious grids, monochrome tones, and large-scale imagery to create a calm and visually balanced experience inspired by modern architecture publications.
Outcome
1. Conducted interviews with university students to understand their pain points. 2. Identified key factors influencing roommate compatibility. 3. Created user personas and journey maps. 4. Designed a compatibility questionnaire based on lifestyle preferences. 5. Developed a matching system that recommends suitable roommates. 6. Designed intuitive onboarding, profile, and messaging experiences. 7. Performed usability testing and refined the interface based on user feedback.
