The problem
- Suitemates had no shared system for tracking chores, groceries, or schedules
- Mood and availability were communicated informally or not at all
- Tension built from miscommunication and unequal task distribution
- Existing apps were either too complex or not designed for shared living
The solution
- A mood check-in feature so suitemates know how everyone's doing
- Shared task assignment and status tracking per room
- Grocery list and calendar synced across the whole suite
- Floor plan setup for a personalized, spatial home view
My responsibilities
- End-to-end design from concept to high-fidelity prototype
- Onboarding, home dashboard, status pages, task and calendar flows
- Built and maintained the full design system
- Conducted user research with college students living in shared housing
Process
- Research — Interviews with college suitemates uncovering friction around chores, schedules, and unspoken tension
- Design — Prioritized warmth and low friction; built around a floor plan metaphor for spatial context
- Testing — Iterated on onboarding clarity, simplified task flow, and improved the status check-in screen
The precursor to the Figma mockups — the culmination of storyboarding, sketching, and affinity diagramming that came before.
Suite Spot brings four core features together in a single, cohesive experience:
Task assignment & tracking — suitemates can create, assign, and check off shared chores with full visibility for everyone.
Status sharing — emotional and physical check-ins (e.g., "studying," "happy," "sick") keep the suite in sync without requiring a conversation.
Important date logging — a shared calendar surfaces events and deadlines so nothing sneaks up on the group.
Suitemate requests — a lightweight secondary feature for quick asks like "can you grab milk?" or "quiet hours tonight?"
By surfacing shared responsibilities and making communication proactive rather than reactive, Suite Spot minimizes the conditions that lead to misunderstandings and conflict between suitemates. Clearer visibility into each other's needs — before they become problems — creates a foundation for more respectful, harmonious living.
