LikeMe is a mobile app designed to help young professionals living together connect with others who have similar interests. User research found that many young professionals living with housemates experienced negative impacts to their wellbeing and preferred communication through apps like WhatsApp. The LikeMe app allows users to create a profile, find groups of other users with shared interests, and communicate with their housemates. Several rounds of user testing were conducted to refine the app design and user experience based on feedback.
