ScheduLink is a social scheduling app for college students. My focus was on defining the core interaction system and building a flexible calendar structure that powers spontaneous connections.

01 — THE PROBLEM

Texting Back and Forth but Schedules Never Align

Students need to see overlap, but won't share their entire calendar

Privacy settings need to be present but not intrusive

Schedules vary wildly (8am classes vs 9pm shifts), displaying them cleanly is hard

Students today juggle multiple scheduling tools

Students are forced to switch between apps, manually compare information, and re-enter the same details.

02 — FRAMING

How might we share availability without increasing social pressure or complexity?

03 — IDEATION

Wireframe Exploration

Testing how schedule input, privacy controls, and availability states connect in a low-friction onboarding flow.

Onboarding Flow

ScheduLink onboarding wireframes showing sign up, name, birthday, gender, and school selection screens

Progressive onboarding flow collecting essential user information with minimal friction.

Schedule Input

Exploring ways for students to quickly input class schedules with minimal friction.

Privacy Settings

Testing visibility options so users can control what parts of their schedule others can see.

Availability States

Designing lightweight status states to help friends quickly see when someone is free.

24 customizable color themes

Customizable calendar themes allow users to personalize their schedules through color and layout variations. All themes operate on the same structural framework and design system.

06 — TAKEAWAY

Key Reflection

Designing ScheduLink pushed me to define how schedule data, privacy rules, and social visibility interact. The most challenging part was balancing flexibility with clarity, especially when introducing multiple calendar themes without breaking structural consistency.

This project strengthened my ability to design interaction models that remain stable even as visual expression evolves.
