My Role: Leader of UX/UI designers, graphic designer


Our team conducted extensive research on the challenges faced by international students and new immigrants arriving in Canada. We formulated strategies to facilitate their social integration, cultural adaptation, and language proficiency. In response to these challenges, we have developed an application aimed at assisting immigrants and international students. This application seamlessly merges social networking and interactive gaming to enhance their integration into their new environment.

WeConnect is a free smartphone application that designed by me and my group. The application allows the creation and placement of unique items for discovery by in-game friends. Our goal is to strengthen interpersonal relationships from the comfort of home.
