Building out the design...

I went through a benchmarking process with the most popular roommate search apps in Latin America in order to determine what features the app should have.

I built user personas to determine which user profiles would use the app and how to design it around their needs.

The chosen visual style was based on minimalism and the need to convey peace and calm to the user.

I performed 4 user testing sessions with Colombian students whose needs aligned with wanting to find a roommate in another place.

• Improved readability by increasing the size of certain texts.

• Expanded the initial questionnaire by adding fields to input location and budget.

• Strengthened the roommate search feature by adding data for hobbies and occupation.

• Empowered the user by adding an option to upload photos of their living spaces.
