Project Overview
WHAT IS BUDDY CONNECT?
A platform dedicated to supporting international and out-of-state students transition into their new lives in whatever capacity they may need.
WHAT DID I DO?
During the Winter 2025 semester, I worked with a startup, Buddy Bunkers, on their Buddy Connect platform. I worked with a cross functional team to conduct foundational user research through interviews and surveys with international and out-of-state students. I synthesized our insights into actionable themes, and used those findings to create initial wireframes. I developed high-fidelity prototypes and created a usability testing guide to support early design validation. Throughout the project, our team maintained weekly communication with the client and iterated based on feedback to ensure alignment with user needs and stakeholder goals.
