Study Buddy is a case study for a study app that helps connect students with each other to form study groups. I designed the app from conception to prototyping.
Design Brief
This project aims to create a way for students on the same campus to quickly find study partners, form and communicate with study groups, and access those who can tutor/help them on assignments.
Problems:
students may have trouble connecting on campus, but need to find people to study with
study resources online aren’t always targeted for the material of a specific class
students need one place to keep track of study tasks and events/group meetings
Goals:
a well-sorted search that helps connect students with those in their major to study with
a calendar hub where students can see their upcoming study sessions
direct messages page where groups and individuals can communicate about study sessions

Adding a new session/group flow
Prototype
The prototype is developed to the point of giving a sense of what the UI and various user flows might feel like, every part is not fully developed.
