Redefine what it means to be a Triton — connected, informed, and involved.

Imagine a digital hub where UC San Diego’s vibrant community comes together — a place to share events, spark conversations, and celebrate Triton pride.

Tritons Connected transforms the campus experience into an engaging, interactive space, bridging the gap between academic life and social connection.

What we built:

A redesigned UC San Diego student app that transforms the experience from a static resource hub into a dynamic, social platform for connection, discovery, and belonging.

Why it mattered:

Despite its academic excellence, UCSD has a reputation for being socially disconnected. Many students struggle to engage with campus life, leading to isolation, disengagement, and mental health challenges.

Who it was for:

Undergraduate students at UC San Diego navigating academics, social life, and resources on a large, often impersonal campus.

Biggest win:

We redesigned the app to become a student-centric ecosystem — aimed at helping users find events, connect with peers, and reduce feelings of disconnection on campus.
