Tasky Husky — A UX Case Study
Creating a solution to empower students with external obligations to effectively balance their time and well-being.
Context
This project was completed by a group of graduate students at The University of Washington’s Human-Centered Design and Engineering (HCDE) program as part of their User-Centered Design (HCDE 518) course.
The primary objective of the course was to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to develop innovative solutions that address real-world problems.
Design Question
How might we support students with external obligations to achieve a fulfilling college experience?
Background
Juggling the demands of being a college student with external obligations that require equal or more attention can prove remarkably challenging. However, it’s quite common for students to have external responsibilities, such as a part-time or full-time job, being a parent or a caregiver, that compete for time and attention. This often leads to poor self-care, subpar time management, and deteriorating mental and physical health.
