A feed that’s alive from the first scroll.
Trending surfaces active people right away, so there’s always someone new to see.
More than a photo.
Profiles show interests and a quality score alongside photos, so there’s more to go on.
From profile to first hello.
Chat is a tap away from any profile, so starting a conversation is easy.
- 01 Trending
- 02 Discover
- 03 Chat
How it’s built
Every screen is a system.
Tokens, layout, components and content, designed to scale and documented for engineering.
Process
How I work.
Research first, pixels second, ship with engineering.
- 01
Research.
Talk to users, study the data, find the real problem.
- 02
Flows.
Map journeys and wireframes before pixels.
- 03
Interface.
Polished UI on a reusable component system, specced for handoff.
- 04
Prototype & ship.
Clickable or coded prototypes, then pair with engineering to ship.
