URLink : Your personal information coordinator
This is a project that started in a Microsoft Hackathon. Although the project did not win, the members of the judge encouraged us to continue developing the project as they were convinced it had true market use-case. It enabled us to get 3rd place in UXPA China UX design competition.
Problem Scope

Solution
URLink is a platform that has the potential to help researchers not only better organize their information, but also inspire the research.
