Platform that will make it easy to find roommates to share living space. Project carried out as part of the postgraduate studies in User Experience Design / Product Design at the SWPS University.
Finding the right person to share a living space is challenging, and the risk of running into “other-worldly” co-renters is high. Because of this, the rental process can be long and stressful. At the same time, more and more people will likely choose to rent coliving spaces for a variety of reasons. It’s not just the lack of affordable housing that leads to cohabitation – many people are simply looking for companionship. Social and economic factors are influencing the popularity of co-housing. Many people do not want to live alone or cannot afford to do so for financial reasons.
We created a platform that will make it easy to find roommates to share living space.
For whom: private persons interested in coliving
Need: finding potential roommates matching your preferences

Work done
Our survey showed that, in the eyes of our chosen target group, our solution seems to be an innovative tool they have not encountered before on the Polish market. The respondents were eager to recommend our solution to their friends and believed that it would definitely be helpful when looking for a shared apartment. What is worth mentioning – the respondents perceived the target group of our solution similarly to us – young people, mainly students.
Although for the most part the site was intuitive to users, we detected some problems, including strategic from a business perspective:
These problems directly affected the basic operation of the site and could make our USP – matching of ideal tenants would not be noticed by users.
When I was in a primary school, I’ve loved writing stories on blogs 👩🏻💻. I’ve realized that websites need to have nice graphic layout to be easy to read and attract readers, so I started design 🎨 interfaces, layouts, headers, banners, gifs and logos for other bloggers. Now I do similar things for thousands of users 🌎.
I enjoy 🤍 minimal live and 🎮 video games, which influence me to include 🐒 fun but 🧹 clean element in my designs.
Pizza 🍕 and yoghurt ice cream🍦 are two things that make me happy.
