Free for Friends

Free for Friends is a website designed to connect Columbia University students by listing discounted events in NYC. Users will be able to see who is attending each event, join group chats to coordinate attendance, and create profiles to find and “friend” others with similar interests. 

With a team of 3 engineers, we led iterative research methods and leveraged generative research results in order to design Free for Friends prototypes. In addition, as the main designer, I developed the website’s visual style and designed key screens, leading usability testing to refine our prototypes and ensuring we delivered a MVP.
