Designing an MVP to promote adult friendships through a hobby-matching experience
During the 8-week Brain Station product management certificate program, I applied product management principles to create an MVP and develop a go-to-market strategy for HOBI, a mobile app designed to connect people with similar interests and hobbies, enabling them to form meaningful and mutual relationships.
I delivered a high-fidelity prototype of HOBI, incorporating 15 out of 21 user stories, and formulated a robust go-to-market strategy. I had the opportunity to integrate product management principles with UX design, resulting in a well-rounded and scalable solution.
Adults find it difficult to find partners or companions who share their specific hobbies and interests as they age. This difficulty leads to feelings of frustration and isolation, as they are unable to connect with like-minded individuals to enjoy their favorite activities.
My team wanted to create an app for particularly busy professionals and city newcomers who are seeking connections and buddies who share their hobbies, sports, or common interests.
One user testing participant pointed out the desire to quickly search for available members on the app to be available to participate in their preferred hobby. the current interface doesn't call for that feature. However, in the future we would include a filtering feature to organize by what activity a user would like to participate in.

Our goal for the MVP was to make it easier to find meaningful relationships and a sense of community through like-minded interests.
The app features an onboarding experience where users create profiles and select their interests, followed by a matching algorithm that facilitates connections based on these preferences. This approach ensured a user-centric design, focusing on delivering a functional and engaging experience for early adopters.
