Echo.

The project investigates how to design more authentic connections for a generation that reports widespread loneliness. The project leans heavily on research: secondary-data framing of the market opportunity, a competitive gap analysis, two user personas, and a co-design workshop in which four target users shaped the product's rules rather than merely reacting to mockups. Those sessions surface three findings: match on resonance, not looks; daily prompts beat static profiles; keep formats low-pressure — which resolve into four design principles and a daily connection loop.
