Project description
Design a digital platform that helps residents of Buurtschap te Veld to share assets, services, and knowledge in a way that supports community values, local ownership, and social connection.
Context
Our product is a digital sharing platform tailored specifically for the residents of Buurtschap te Veld. It enables neighbors to share items, services, and knowledge in a structured and user-friendly way. The platform supports local collaboration, with features such as item listings, community groups, event calendars, and rich user profiles. It was co-designed and tested with actual residents, ensuring that the interface and functionality truly match the community’s needs. Each feature contributes to building trust, improving visibility, and fostering stronger social ties in the neighborhood.
Results
We created an local owned sharing & contacting application which helps residents of Buurtschap Te Veld with sharing & connecting. It also should support collaboration between neighbors. We made an interactive Figma prototype, where all the functionalities of the app are created. Based on this we created a fitting design according to homestyle of Buurtschap Te Veld.
