[ 01 / PROJECT OVERVIEW ]MADE FOR PEOPLE.
Project overview.
Roomies brings shared expenses, chores, groceries and household plans into one mobile space. Designed for housemates in India, the concept includes a local interactive prototype with 36 screens.
THE PEOPLE
Housemates coordinating shared spending, changing schedules and the everyday work of keeping a home running.
THE SCOPE
UX strategy, mobile interface design, shared-home journeys, visual identity and a local interactive prototype.
THE STATUS
Design concept.
UX/UI and interaction design.
[ 02 / THE PROBLEM ]MADE FOR PEOPLE.
The problem.
Shared living creates coordination work that can disappear between group chats, private lists and informal reminders. Housemates need to understand what they owe, who owns a task, which groceries are being picked up and what has changed. Different schedules and split preferences make that shared context especially important.
[ 03 / THE SOLUTION ]MADE FOR PEOPLE.
The solution.
Bring expenses, chores, groceries and household plans into one mobile space. Pair each shared action with a responsible person and a visible state. Allow bill details and shares to be reviewed before saving, make chore ownership explicit, connect grocery claims with shopping lists and keep changes in a shared activity history. Payments remain external to the prototype.

[ 08 / REFLECTION & VALIDATION ]MADE FOR PEOPLE.
Designed with intent.
Open to learning.
The study includes four hypotheses and two illustrative proto-personas, not interviewed participants. Interviews, a household diary and task-based usability sessions are proposed to test fairness, ownership, grocery duplication and shared context.
- Record an expense with shares that add up.
- Assign or reassign a household chore.
- Claim groceries before a shopping run.
- Record an external payment and understand the balance.
A local design prototype. Payments happen outside Roomies. The settlement screen is an empty state; no measured reduction in reminders or household conflict is claimed.
