In June of this year, I was in the midst of my UX Design course at the Codaisseur Academy in Amsterdam. Part of the 10-week boot camp, was a collaboration week with the students from the web development course.

We were split up in teams, for every team 1 UX designer and 3/4 developers.

The assignment briefing:

Create an MVP/Proof of Concept for a matchmaking app. We’ll have teams with 3 developers (max 4), all teams have 1 designer (that’s me 👨‍💼). There are always two different parties being matched.

As a team, we chose to build an activity/sports friend finder, VondelBuddies. A Tinder like matching app where people based on their same interest can find a buddy and do an (outdoor) activity together.
