JoinMe
Empowering Seniors through Community Engagement
Overview
connecting seniors
JoinMe is a web-based platform that aims to connect seniors with their local communities, providing them with opportunities to share their skills, participate in activities, and engage with businesses and local governments. As the product designer for JoinMe, my role was to create a user-centric platform that catered to the unique needs of seniors while facilitating effective community engagement.

We discovered that seniors were eager to contribute their skills and talents, but faced challenges in finding opportunities and connecting with relevant communities.
