Why working at a start-up made an impact to my growth
As a transfer student and spending my first year and half, I didn't have any helping hands to supercharge my professional career. When I first joined this team, I wanted to help conceptualize and design a new product that'll help UC Davis Students find their mentor and create meaningful connections
At UC Davis, many students feel intimidated to approach upperclassmen for career advice, leading to missed opportunities for mentorship and professional growth.

When I first joined the team as a Founding Designer, the team needed a design system that speaks about them
My Product Manager and I wanted to unveil our product within 2 weeks with 0 user-research to see if this product was suitable here at UC Davis. We were willing to see if Expresso would be a successful or failed product since there was no market @ UC Davis.
The results with our MVP
After our first month of beta testing. We had over 100+ users onboarding on our platform, with 1.2K unique visitors viewing our page, 30 coffee chats booked. However, we noticed that our conversation rate was at 34% of students onboarding through and not many of them booking coffee chats.

Final Feedback from the Community
We've received numerous feedback about our product how it empowers underclassmen here at UC Davis to seek out career advice and gain some mentorship, many of them enjoyed booking and gaining knowledge from the upperclassman
Message from the team
We're college students in a small club on campus, we're so busy with our assignments that we've hadn't pushed out the final product to the public, but we're so close! Our product will be released in Fall 2025, when the new students arrive!
