FirstYearU: Mobile Calendar App + Well-Being

As students, your time and mental health are valuable. What if you had a calendar that could help protect and balance both?

mobile screens showing the pitch and app I created a prototype for a mobile calendar app called FirstYearU, targeting students in their first year of post-secondary studies. The project deliverables include a mobile website pitch and an interactive demo to test drive the user experience.

The need: First year is found to be the hardest transition period for students in higher education.

The solution: FirstYearU focuses on time-blocking, an effective way to protect your commitments and keep you on track. With smart notifications, you take back control of your calendar and get personalized tips, supporting your well-being.
