RoomAid

A day in the life of our users

Wyatt and Hunter live together in a 2bd apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They're busy professionals in their 30s with different levels of introversion and extroversion.

While living together, they've found it can be difficult to communicate their varying needs for alone time and focus. At the same time, they want to be able to indicate times where they're more open to being social.

Since Wyatt is more introverted and generally at home more often, it's helpful for him to know when Hunter will be out of the house and for how long. It's also helpful for him to know when Hunter will be having friends over so Wyatt can mentall prepare.

THE MORNING

Setting expectations for the day

Wyatt, an introvert who values quiet mornings, begins his day with coffee and a sketchbook by the window. Before settling in, he updates his RoomAid status to “Quiet morning, sketching, please keep noise low,” signaling his need for a calm start.

Hunter, already out for a morning run, gets a notification about Wyatt’s status. Hunter’s routine is a bit more active—he likes to start the day with exercise, followed by breakfast at a nearby café. RoomAid gives him a heads-up about Wyatt’s alone time, so he knows to ease into his return without interrupting Wyatt’s peaceful start.

LATE MORNING

Deep focus & work time

As they both prepare to dive into work, Wyatt sets his RoomAid status to “Focused work time, available after 12 PM.” He uses the app’s “quiet time” notification to let Hunter know he’ll be unavailable for a few hours, allowing him to get into a flow state without unexpected disruptions.

Hunter, who also works from home, sets his status to “Working, flexible if needed,” a cue that he’s available if Wyatt needs a break but otherwise busy with his tasks. RoomAid’s interface offers them a quick, simple way to check each other’s availability without interrupting their focus.

3pm - LATE AFTERNOOON

Time for working out and painting

Wyatt returns to work but anticipates wrapping up early to indulge in some painting. He updates his status to “Alone time: painting,” notifying Hunter he’ll need a few hours of quiet. RoomAid’s focus mode suggestion pops up, reminding Wyatt he can keep notifications minimal during this creative time, helping him fully immerse in his art.

Hunter, on the other hand, decides to make the most of his extroverted energy and heads to the gym. He sets his status to “Out at the gym,” which is automatically shared with Wyatt so he’ll know the apartment is empty—a perfect setup for Wyatt’s solo painting time.

7pm - Evening

Social plans and quiet alone time

Hunter plans to meet some friends for dinner. He sets his status on RoomAid to “Out with friends, back late,” ensuring Wyatt knows the apartment will be free for the evening. Wyatt, who cherishes these quiet nights, sets his own status to “Alone time: reading, no visitors.” This way, he can look forward to an uninterrupted evening with his book, fully knowing that Hunter’s out for the night.

Throughout the evening, Wyatt appreciates the peace and RoomAid’s gentle reminders about his quiet time settings. RoomAid helps them manage personal preferences without any back-and-forth texting.

Bio

I’m a product designer and entrepreneur with over five years of experience creating user-centered digital experiences. At Hoist, I led design through multiple product pivots, collaborating closely with product and engineering teams to craft solutions that drive measurable impact. My design approach combines empathy, rigorous user research, and iteration to create products that resonate with users and achieve product-market fit. Beyond my role at Hoist, I’ve built and launched my own ventures, including RoomAid and Leap To, leading product strategy, branding, and design from the ground up.
I also specialize in branding, web design, and crafting cohesive identities for businesses, like transforming MOST from an independent clinic into a global nonprofit. My work is fueled by a desire for freedom, flexibility, and creating meaningful impact. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me exploring creative outlets like woodworking, painting, or planning my next adventure.
