Overview

Collar is an award-winning professional mobile network that promotes Corporate Social Responsibility: the growing notion that corporations should enact ethical policies. In addition to facilitating CSR-orientated conversations, Collar links employers and job seekers together on the basis of both qualifications and alignment in social vision to create more productive workplaces. Collar placed 4th in the Future Business Leaders of America National Mobile Development competition out of 62 finalists and 200+ entries.

My contributions include user research, ideation, and creating low and high fidelity mockups. I also assisted with the entire development process from backend to frontend alongside 2 other fantastic end-to-end developers.

Problem

Countless corporations still lack CSR as evident through frequent exploitation of labor laws, production of manufacturing waste, and racial discrimination in the workplace. This can cause issues such as...

1. Internal workplace conflicts and labor strikes. Example: The Alphabet workers union was established in 2021 after many employees grew infuriated with the company's exploitation of workers outside the U.S for the sake of the corporation's profit.
2. Decreased revenue because of product boycotts and a negative public image. Example: The 2021 PETA boycott against Air France emerged because of the public's outrage against the airlines willingness to remove monkeys from their natural habitats and transport them to inhumane laboratories.
