Independent stories deserve to be discovered.

Meet KATHARA, a mobile streaming app concept connecting independent creators with viewers through short, vertical series.

Over five weeks, I designed an iOS experience around two connected journeys: discovering your next series and sharing your own.

The design brings together a full-screen viewing feed, one-tap episode navigation, personalized discovery, and community conversations with spoiler warnings. For creators, dedicated publishing flows and monetization options support the journey from releasing a first episode to building an audience.

A dark interface with electric cyan and purple accents gives KATHARA its visual character while keeping the stories in focus.
