Two BYU students created an app that helps connect students and create relationships based on similar interests.
BYU students Mikayla Cheng and Aaron Chan created Tiedye after seeing how hard it can be for students to foster friendships and meet people. Once the pandemic changed social interaction and increased distancing from others, Cheng and Chan decided Tiedye would be a platform for tying diverse groups of people together. The app launches Friday, Feb. 5.
“When we have a solid set of friends and sincere connection to others, we feel more whole as people. That’s what we want for every Tiedye user,” Cheng said.
