Circle: An interconnected solution to loneliness - Medibank Industry Project

The attached collaborative report working within Medibank and the Australian Red Cross handled the systemic issue of loneliness within universities. Working collaboratively with RMIT industry partners we utilised design thinking methodologies and iterative product design to UI wireframe "Circle"; an embedded campus based app connecting student with support networks, student run events and hangouts.

This team based project underscored the importance of effective, high level communication across collaborative project execution. Admittedly, our team struggled to cross-manage schedules and effectively communicate; resulting in personal overreaching work within project execution. This university experience has shown me the importance of team delegation, and importantly the necessity for regular collaborative check-in and group accountability; a key learning and growth area for future development.
