A sleek, renter-meets-homeowner app designed to make the rental process feel as easy as scrolling your favourite social feed, one experience that serves owners listing their places and renters eager to browse them.
RentEasy started as an interview pitch, a chance to put together a concept that captured the needs of both homeowners looking to list their properties and renters eager to browse them.
The interview didn't end in an offer. But the idea was too good to leave behind: a sleek, renter-meets-homeowner app that makes the rental process as easy as scrolling through a social feed, and it became some of the work I'm most happy to show.
I handled the full scope, from wireframing and prototyping to crafting a streamlined onboarding that felt genuinely welcoming.
All of it inside real constraints: limited screens and a tight timeline. As a multidisciplinary designer I also created the brand and logo, so the product felt like one coherent thing end to end.
Simplify the rental search so completely that anyone, from tech pros to total novices, could navigate it with ease.
The bar was simplicity without skimping on functionality: easy enough for a first-timer, capable enough to actually list, browse, and manage real properties.
A simple, no-fuss guide through setting up preferences, so renters only ever see what suits their needs, and everyone picks the path that fits them.
Buyers, renters, and sellers each get a welcome and a home base tuned to what they came to do.
A warm welcome straight into discovery, "let's find you a home."
Set preferences once, then see only what actually fits.
Simple, straightforward steps to put a property up with minimal forms.
Browsing built to feel like a breeze, smart filters narrow the field, and a clean home feed makes the right place easy to find.
A quick run through the flow, onboarding, choosing your path, and browsing the right way.
RentEasy, walkthrough · 1:04
No offer, but a concept I was proud to walk away with, and one of the more useful things in my portfolio since.
More than that, it gave me hands-on insight into user-centred design for real estate: designing for very different users (owners and renters) inside one calm, simple experience.
If I revisit it, here's where it goes next.
Walk a property from the couch, before ever booking a viewing.
Listings that learn your taste and surface the right places sooner.
Connect renters directly with owners, without leaving the app.
Two very different people, an owner and a renter, meeting in one app that feels as easy as scrolling.
