Connect Our Kids ^v.1

A mobile app that helps social workers connect children in foster care with loving families and brighter futures.

There are more than 400,000 children in the American foster care system.

The Challenge:

When a child is removed from their home, social workers must identify extended family members—a demanding, resource-intensive manual process. Many children are placed in foster or group homes as a result, losing family connections and experiencing further trauma.

My Contributions:

People Search: Social workers could search by specific criteria using the Pipl API to find potential relatives of children in foster care. I designed and built a clear, visually engaging results interface, applying UX/UI principles to simplify the workflow and help social workers identify family members more quickly.

Family Connections: I took the initiative to bring this web feature to the React Native mobile app. It visually mapped the connections social workers established between children and potential relatives. I focused on an intuitive, polished interface that improved the mobile experience, helping social workers map family connections on the go and move children toward suitable placements more quickly.

Tech Stack:

React Native - iOS + Android
Pipl API
