Summary:

DogPaw is a student-led initiative to develop a comprehensive social media platform for University of Washington students. DogPaw aims to be a one-stop shop for all aspects of student life with features such as the ability to request and create new clubs, apply for on-campus housing, join class group pages, and find postings for opportunities like jobs and TA roles.

On this project, I played a dual role. As a designer, I assisted the design team in prototyping the app's interfaces and implementing interactive elements in Figma. Additionally, I contributed to the research team by identifying unique stakeholders, such as student-athletes and teachers, conducting user interviews, and sharing insights from card-sorting exercises with the team.
