Overview

I began working on this project fresh out of college and I related to Boon’s mission of easing the frustration and stress of job searching for young people without an established professional background. I can’t think of a better way to invest and develop a community than to have first-hand experience in this field.

Impact

As the sole product designer for Boon, I was responsible for conducting qualitative and quantitative user research on the struggles that currently pain job-seeking college graduates. My research led to discovering insightful patterns that helped me create prototypes of what the application would look like for a user.
