Rumate
Rumate is a concept service I created, inspired from Adobe XD Daily Creative Challenge. Finding a place to live, let alone a roommate is a daunting task. Rumate breaks down your living preferences (number of roommates, pets, etc.) and provides you with personalized matches. No more nightmare roommates!
