Welcome to WAVE The environmentalist dating app

The Challenge:

Develop a third-party mobile app that encourages local coastal communities to take action and help preserve their coastal environments.

What to Except:

Wireframes: You should present lo-fi renditions, ideally thumbnails, detailing the messy process of figuring out a user journey. Also include the hi-fi iterations.
User Journey: Remember your personas? Take one of them through your product.
Style Guide: Present a style guide detailing typography, colors, iconography, UX writing examples, art direction and any other system components that are necessary

UX Stage Recap: We needed to focus on the human centered design approach, understanding users' needs and their relationship with the issues (such as pollution, landfiill, ocean preservation) to further understand how to design an app that fits their needs

User Journey: Lilly Alice

Lilly Alice After decides she's sick of the traditional dating apps like Bumble and Tinder (which she finds tend to offer little opportunity to find compatibility.) She downloads the Wave app is immediately invited to complete a profile. Part of completing her profile included selecting a "Passion Preferences” in regard to the type of philanthropy that interests her. Once she have selected her preferences, the Wave app automates matchmaker system will recommend members based on these preferences. Lilly will also be able to see other members’ preferences and how they compare to her answers. It's our apps way of playing cupid and keeping you informed of new members who meet your criteria. Lilly has the option to choice wether she would like to go on group dates on one on one dates. As she is fairly introverted the groups dates offer her a sense of comfort knowing she won't be trapped in just one conversation. As she joins a group, Lilly gets to pick which beach clean up dates would work for her schedule. She's quickly paired with a group for the following weekend ahead!
