App Design for Fun
Problem: How might we bring people together to make staying home alone just a little more fun?
Solution: An app that rewards people and communities for staying home, and makes isolation feel more like a group effort.
Role: Design Lead
Impact: Created User Flows, Designed App Layout, Logos, and Animated Character Sprites to make staying home more fun.
Stay Home was a short, fun project that some friends and I put together in hopes that it would brighten the newly dawning covid situation a bit, and to help people connect over being stuck at home. Unfortunately, even though we developed a working version really quickly, kudos to Rahul Sompuram, Vishnu Ravi, and Trevor Pennypacker, we weren't able to release it to the app store because of a freeze on covid-related apps. Still, we could use it on TestFlight amongst ourselves, which helped us tune the scoring. Overall it was just a fun concept to play with, a great hack experience, and a bright spot during particularly dark times. And, it yielded some fun covid-safety themed character sprites.
