Diversekey is a Karaoke bar that creates a safe space for people to connect regardless of someone's appearance, sexuality or gender. 

​

In the Netherlands, there is a problem with student housing. In these times people have a hard time finding a room they can afford and when they finally do a lot of students get hit with the reality of co-option. Co-option is when the people who live in the house choose who will be living in the new room. This by itself is not the problem, but the discrimination is. A lot of students want a house mate that fit their criteria and in a lot of cases it turns discriminative to international students, students with a different sexuality or gender identity or students with disabilities. And there hasn't been done much to help these students in need of a room. 

​

Therefore, I created Diverse key.

Diverse key is a place for people to have a fun time with some foods and drinks and get to know new people. This karaoke bar is different from a normal karaoke bar though, because the music is not just one or 2 languages, but there is a broader list of the different language you can sing in. Not only is the music more diverse, the food and drinks are also inspired by different countries. 

​

By connecting with people through a new experience like learning a new language singing a song or having a good time over a snack and a drink is a great way to know more about the surrounding area and what's going on in student lives. The bar will have multiple features, one being the app that I created the visuals of for this project.
