ROLE
UX Researcher and UX Designer
Phase 1
UX Research
Competitive Analysis: Mapped peer-learning platforms (Huddlecraft, Lunchclub) to identify gaps in scalability and engagement.
Trend Synthesis: Explored learning-by-doing methodologies, generative AI tools, and peer-group dynamics.
Semi-Structured Interviews: Conducted 5 interviews with freelancers, a teacher, and a peer-learning founder.
Phase 2
UX Design & Testing
Designed a chat-based MVP with:
- AI-autofilled profiles (skills/interest-based matching).
- Small-group icebreakers to build rapport.
- AI prompts to re-engage stagnant discussions.
Ran lean usability tests on 3 core flows:
- Profile-building: Users wanted clearer AI-editing controls.
- Group suggestions: Needed transparency on size limits.
- Chat interactions: Testers mistook AI for humans—iterated on UI cues.
