OVERVIEW
ROLE
I designed an app named Unihelp to make the transfer from high school to university easier for students. In comparison with outdated websites, Unihelp provides quick, interactive access to tuition calculators, alumni associations, university information, and admissions contacts. It's in the low-fidelity prototype stage right now.

The Idealogy Research and process
My own difficult experience as an international student applying to Canadian universities served as an inspiration for Unihelp. Even after a month of study, I frequently doubted whether I had obtained all the information I needed because I found it so difficult to navigate current websites. The concept for an app that would greatly simplify and accelerate the information-gathering process for potential students was inspired by this. To reduce stress and confusion, Unihelp seeks to provide a simple way to acquire university data. To further enhance the application process, it adds an interactive component that allows students to communicate with alumni.
The results
The application's basic low-fidelity prototype is all that is shown in the results below. Before it can be validated, it needs to have a lot more features to make it truly unique and a higher-quality prototype.
