Roommates App
Rapid Prototype
ROLE:
UI, User Testing, UX, Visual Design
As part of a 5-day design sprint to explore options for New Yorkers looking for rooms for rent (apartment shares), I created a click-through prototype for testing with users.
WE NEEDED TO SOLVE FOR TWO DISTINCT USERS: THOSE WHO HAD A SPARE ROOM TO RENT (OUR “RACHEL” PERSONA), AND THOSE SEEKING ROOMS FOR RENT (OUR “REBECCA” PERSONA).
THE INITIAL FLOW FOR RACHEL WAS BASED ON EXISTING UX, BUT REBECCA WAS A BRAND NEW USER, REQUIRING A BRAND NEW EXPERIENCE
OUR PROTOTYPE INCLUDED A FULL MESSAGING APP EXPERIENCE TO SUPPORT CHATTING BETWEEN POTENTIAL ROOMMATES
OUR PROTOTYPE WAS A BIG SUCCESS WITH TESTERS AND WE GAINED INSIGHTS TO APPLY ONCE THE REVENUE MODEL WAS FINALIZED
