Working as a Product Designer, I led the design and implementation of Mixem at Humber College. The engagement included strategic planning, research, wireframing all the way to handing off high fidelity prototypes.

Mixem is a mobile app for students as well as an analytics dashboard for event organizers. The goal of the app is to give students a single source for events and support at the college, to reduce their degrees of separation and speed up the process of finding a community. The flow in focus for this case study is largely a product of the current state of student life due to Covid-19. 

Problem

In a growing metropolis like Toronto, classes get bigger each year leaving students to struggle when making friends and ultimately finding a community that they fit into. With COVID-19 in the picture, educational institutions expect an even higher degree of separation among students.

Solution

Providing students the flexibility to create events online, without any external noise or addictive features of present-day social applications, in order to help them meet like-minded people at their school and hence build a community that most new students lack.
