Summary

Side Project for Supporting
Single Parents

The topic is about solving the problems of single parents. They need some people to help them and support them. Sometimes it is very difficult to balance their work or personal lives. I created a community that could gather them together and let them help each other when they have problems. For the community, I designed an app, an event, and an environment.

He is very busy with his work; he hired a nanny to take care of his son. He worries about spending less time with his son. He hopes not only to give his son a father’s love, but also a mother’s love.

Amelia is struggling to raise a child. She has to pick up her son in kindergarten as soon as possible after she finishes work.

She thinks it’s hard to keep a balance between work and family. Her parents sometimes help her to take care of her son. She doesn’t have many friends because she is so busy. She hopes people can understand her situation and help her.

Deliverables: Mobile App Event Environment

APP Design:

The mobile app is for single parents. They can use it to connect with others, share their photos, get information on caring children, donate to the community and find other single parents to help them easily. I want to give single parents a family feeling, gather them together and let them get closer. In One Home community, I hope they can trust each other, give each other help and support which can make them feel warm. From the app, single parents can get closer and know each other well.
