Conekt Mobile App UX/UI Design for Web3 Users

Conekt is a social networking app designed to connect Web3 creatives through instant messaging and real-time discovery. Blending the familiarity of apps like WhatsApp with swipe-based matching, Conekt empowers creatives to build meaningful connections, share ideas, and collaborate — all in a decentralized ecosystem.

UX/UI Designer I was responsible for end-to-end design, from wireframes and user flows to high-fidelity mockups in Figma.

Figma, Notion, Jira and Figjam

To create an intuitive, engaging mobile experience that fosters social interaction and community-building among Web3 users while combining chat features with creative matchmaking.

WhatsApp-style chat interface: Clean, real-time messaging with media support

Swipe to Connect: Users can discover and match with like-minded creatives

Profile Matching: Interests, skills, and crypto-native traits influence matches

Creative Rooms: Group chats and topic-based communities

Web3 Identity Ready: Designed with future wallet and NFT integrations in mind

Research & Strategy Studied existing social apps (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord) and explored Web3 user behavior. This helped identify user expectations and UI patterns familiar to crypto-native users.

Wireframes & User Flows Created a simplified onboarding flow, chat layout, and swipe interaction prototypes to test user engagement logic early on.

High-Fidelity Mockups Used Figma to design polished interfaces with a modern, dark-themed UI optimized for mobile. Micro-interactions were considered for swipe animations and chat reactions.

Prototyping & Testing Built interactive mockups for swipe-to-connect and chat to simulate real user behavior. Iterated based on early user feedback.

Balancing familiarity with novelty: Users expected WhatsApp-like simplicity, but also needed unique features like swiping and profile matching.

Web3 complexity: Designing for crypto-native users while keeping onboarding smooth for those newer to the space.

The final mockups deliver a clean, functional, and visually consistent experience. Conekt bridges traditional social UX with Web3 principles, positioning itself as a go-to hub for creative networking in the crypto space.

Designing Conekt pushed me to merge conventional UX patterns with the evolving needs of decentralized users. It taught me how to simplify new interactions without compromising on engagement, a critical lesson in designing for emerging tech.
