Our company would like to explore adding features to our existing webapp.

We would like a group of students to design additional features to our co-living platform.

This will involve:

• Conduct background research of existing web application for the product.
• Identify key areas of our current product and what additional features are required.
• Learn and use various software tools. We strongly recommend students learn how to use React and Ruby on Rails as it is the latest and greatest tool currently available.
• Creation of a screen by screen UX / UI.

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities:

• Familiarize themselves with our existing product.
• Familiarize themselves with a design tool of their choosing and understand how it work. We strongly recommend Figma/Canva.
• Design and build inside of all the needed additional screens for a web application of our product.
• Present the final design screens to us with the context of all their choices they made, problems they encountered, and next steps they recommend.
• Develop these features using React JS and Ruby on Rails
• Test these features

Final deliverables should include:

• The design screens and all assets in a shareable format
• A presentation as stated above of the final designs

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Current product understanding
• Industry standard design tools and applications
• Any sort of branding or styling advice
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter
• Drive through current development code and architecture
