About Us
Our design team is comprised of two undergraduate students and one graduate student with multi-disciplinary backgrounds including computer science, industrial engineering and management, human-computer interaction (HCI), and information systems. Drawn together by an understanding of the need for user-centered design and its all-important mantra, the designer is not the user, we worked to place ourselves in the users context to fully understand what people need rather than what we think would be desired. Working over a period of two months, we studied why people attend events, what determines a successful event, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of current methods of event planning. We conducted around 50 informal interviews around the Carnegie Mellon University campus, a web survey with 164 volunteered responses, and a thorough competitive analysis of existing event planning and invitation applications.
