The project

Maple Care extends the Maple suite ecosystem to revolutionize how families find and hire trusted caregivers. As Product Design Lead, I created a comprehensive two-sided marketplace that connects families with professional caregivers, nurses, and babysitters through AI-powered matching and flexible booking options.

Background

Maple Care addresses the critical gap in family caregiving services by creating a trusted platform where families can quickly find verified professionals for elderly care, childcare, and specialized assistance. The platform leverages AI to streamline the matching process while offering five distinct booking methods to accommodate various care needs—from emergency situations to long-term arrangements. Built on Supabase infrastructure for scalability and real-time functionality.

Process

The project demanded designing for complex dual-user journeys while ensuring trust, safety, and ease of use for sensitive family care decisions.
