Coming Out? is an app to find LGBTQ+ friendly spaces like bars, restaurants, and pubs. It is a directory of places reviewed by people whose sexual orientation and identity are on the profile. It’s a real community.

I performed a benchmark of various apps related to the main functionality, comparing features like filtering bars/pubs/houses, reviewing a place, saving a place for later, or favoriting an item.

Then, I proposed an information architecture and conducted a card-sorting session with 5 users to test it.

I built 5 user personas, comprising a mix of bisexual, gay, straight, cisgender, and transgender profiles, to uncover their needs, pain points, and further opportunities to include in the app.

Completed an initial round of wireframes in Figma, then refined them into high-fidelity wireframes along with a working and sharable prototype.
