Project Summary

Saciva is a housing, roommate, and marketplace platform designed for students and young professionals, helping them find compatible roommates, nearby homes, and essential services based on location, lifestyle preferences, budget, and daily habits. Saciva matches students with compatible homes and housemates based on preferences. My team and I conducted usability tests to understand what problems and friction points users are facing while using the current Saciva app. We uncovered insights which helped us redesign solutions that meet the client’s business goals.
