Applixy helps under-resourced students navigate college applications, scholarships, and build strong e-portfolios. Through research with professors at the Iovine and Young Academy, I developed a platform featuring AI tools, mentorship, and more. It also includes an admin side for reviewers to conduct holistic assessments.

Laying the Foundation
Over the summer, I conducted summer research under the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility Council and IYA, which helped shape my understanding of the systemic disparities in resources, mentorship, and learning opportunities. This research laid the foundation for EzPort, as I began solidifying research-backed features.

Building the Vision
In the fall, I transitioned into prototyping by wireframing and coding Applixy. The platform includes AI tools, mentorship resources, and clear evaluation criteria for students and admissions teams. Through my summer research I expanded to add an admin side. This will facilitate holistic review processes, positioning Applixy for a 2025 launch.

My first draft of the logo. I got feedback that the icon and name felt disconnected.
(I hid an "E" in the snap)
Here’s my final version of the logo! ✨ The name "Applixy" is closely linked to the idea of "Apply," while the paper symbolizes how our platform helps transform your documents into a pathway to success.
