Gamebuddy

As the Product Designer of Gamebuddy(and gamer), I'm thrilled to be a part of a project aimed at revolutionizing the gaming community. Gamebuddy is a redesign of an app from 2017. The old one proved to be quite a succes with 200.000 downloads on both android and iOS. Sadly time took a toll on it’s quality, so a redesign was needed. Since Gamebuddy took on a new mission, my role as Product Designer involved rethinking the whole concept of the brand. By implementing ‘design thinking’, Gamebuddy reinvented itself as a brand that is: welcoming, friendly and striving to build a better gaming community. This new branding meant redesigning the app from the ground up and implementing features that enhance the user experience and promote a positive gaming environment.

Gamebuddy is a platform that aims to help improve the well-being of young people, through gaming. For example through social connections, equality and building a save and non-toxic community. As a product designer, I was responsible for the rebuild and rebranding of the old Gamebuddy app, which had around 200.000 downloads over iOS and Android. I primarily focussed on UX/UI design, but I also did some marketing and content on the side. As of writing, this project is still in development and will probably release in the end of 2023.
