From discovery to tested, interactive prototypes — a social media app for users to be part of the loop, or create one of their own.

Early Startup Client

Project has since been re-titled, with research & deliverables re-purposed.

Upon collaborating with the early startup client from the initial stages of ideation and discovery, I had the opportunity of providing creative input for the overall direction of the project "loop." Upon refining direction through UX research and establishing a clear minimum viable product with the client, I was appointed the role of sole digital product designer for the project, and became responsible for the full UX/UI process, from discovery to delivery.

By the time the project was handed off to the client, loop had become a concept iOS app with an accompanying prototype, centered on light-hearted, local community engagement and dialogue through anonymized interactions.

Phase 1 involved UX research, market research, and user interviews to zero in on essential features and establish information architecture, user flows, and wire frames for an MVP with anonymous user profiles. This minimum viable product established with the client through research efforts included: composing (3) unique feeds, public & private reply functionality, content filtering, and a search option for exploration -- all with anonymous user interactions.

In the second phase of the project, I conducted another round of user interviews to gather feedback on the MVP. This feedback helped me to refine the UI and branding assets, in alignment with the client's interest in deviating from "Flat Design" and offering a more hyperbolic take on "Neumorphism."

The final phase of the project involved completing a comprehensive Figma prototype and conducting usability testing. This allowed me to gather qualitative user feedback and make final design refinements. The completed hand-off file was then delivered to the client.
