Co-Living Community App (Concept)

Concept project (2022): a co-living service designed end to end with the double diamond, from research to a high-fidelity prototype.

The problem: housing shortages, more people living alone, and loneliness at a societal scale. Co-living addresses all three, but only if living together is easy.

Research: built on Space10's (IKEA's research lab) survey of 14,000 people across 147 countries on what they would and wouldn't share. That shaped a persona, Sofia, a DevOps lead moving to Stockholm who wants a home and a community.

What I designed: the app a commune runs for its residents, covering services, shared bills and meeting the neighbours. Deliverables: persona and journey map, pain points and hypotheses, service architecture, jobs to be done, wireframes, high-fidelity UI and an evaluation plan with four success metrics.
