Pay type: 
Either pay or credit.

Looking to hire 1–2 people to help out with UI design and user evaluation for a mobile/web app my research group has been developing, named Chelada. For pay or for research credits.

The basic idea behind Chelada is to let people specify reminder and re-finding tasks like:

  • remind me to bring in the plants if it will be cold this week
  • remind me to bring an umbrella if it will rain later today
  • make it easy for me to see bus info when I’m at the bus stop
  • make it easy for me to find my hotel info after I land
  • make it easy for me to find this email again at 6pm tonight

We have a working Android app and web site, and need help in improving the visual design, simplifying the wording, improving the user experience, doing heuristic evals, and running user tests.

Ideal skills:

  • good visual design
  • familiar with html (or even better, JSP)
  • familiar with SVN
  • familiar with look and feel of Android apps
  • know how to do heuristic evals and run user tests
