  • Client: Pledge, an independent startup building tools for college fraternities
  • Services: UX research, prototyping, interface design, launch content
  • Timeline: 12 weeks

The brief

Fraternity officers track chores, events and dues in group chats, so deadlines get lost. Pledge needed a simple iOS app that shows open tasks and deadlines at a glance, and it had to be tested before the team spent money on visual design.

Our solution

  • Core flows mapped first, then a clickable prototype tested with students
  • An iOS interface built around a map of open tasks and shared deadlines
  • A launch plan with short social posts and campus ambassador content

Results

  • Prototype tested with 46 students on four campuses before visual design started
  • 1,200 installs in the first month of the beta
  • The average member opened the app 3.1 days a week
