Nearby Chats — Location-Based Chat App UI/UX
Role: UI/UX Designer
Overview
Nearby Chats is a mobile chat app concept that helps users discover and join real-time conversations around their location, with a focus on clarity, speed, and local engagement.
Problem
Existing chat apps make it hard to find relevant local conversations. Feeds feel crowded, location context is missing, and users can’t easily tell which chats are active—leading to low engagement.
Solution
I designed a location-based chat experience with map-driven discovery, clear room details, and activity indicators. The clean UI reduces friction and helps users quickly join meaningful nearby conversations.
Process:
Research → User flows → Wireframes → Visual design → Iteration

Last year around this time I felt that Webdesign and Branding weren't scratching my design Itch anymore, and decided I would try and take on more iOS projects.
Fast forward one year, and I've worked on more than 10 projects, most of which are live in Appstore already, and landed a gig for Freelance App Designer at BeReal in the process. The best part? I feel like I have still so much more to learn!

FreshLock — Food Packaging Landing Page Design 🍎📦
FreshLock is a modern landing page concept created for a food packaging brand focused on preserving freshness, reducing waste, and presenting innovative packaging solutions through a clean digital experience.
The goal was to communicate product benefits instantly while making the website feel fresh, premium, and trustworthy. The visual direction combines bold typography, minimal layouts, realistic product imagery, and vibrant red accents to create a strong first impression while keeping the focus on the product.
Special attention was given to:
• a product-first hero section that immediately highlights freshness and packaging quality;
• clean visual hierarchy that makes key messages easy to scan;
• responsive desktop and mobile layouts optimized for every device 📱;
• trust-building elements showcasing product quality, freshness, and customer confidence;
• bold CTAs that encourage users to explore the product and learn more;
• a minimal interface that lets the packaging and product visuals become the center of attention;
• a scalable landing page design suitable for future product launches and marketing campaigns.
The result is a modern, conversion-focused landing page that helps communicate product value, strengthens brand credibility, and creates an engaging experience from the very first screen ✨
