The role
As Lead Product Designer and the sole designer on the project, I worked directly with the client to shape the app’s experience and visual identity. I developed user journeys, wireframes, and prototypes to explore and refine the design, then collaborated with the development team through implementation.

Onboarding
Onboarding introduces the app through a short sequence of clear steps, helping users get started without overwhelming them with information. Each screen focuses on the immediate action, keeping the process easy to follow.
Discovering products
The homepage puts products first, with a regularly refreshed feed that encourages browsing and discovery. Product pages combine prominent imagery, clear information, and a direct enquiry option, helping users assess an item and ask questions before taking the next step.
User profile
The profile brings together “My Items” and “My Swaps,” giving users a central place to keep track of items and exchanges.
“My Items” keeps items of interest accessible, while “My Swaps” provides a record of completed exchanges. Feedback on swaps helps users share their experiences and build their reputation within the community.
Adaptive search
Search adapts to the type of item users are looking for. Whether they search for clothing, shoes, or other products, the interface presents relevant filters for that category, helping them narrow down results without navigating unrelated options. Featured and promoted listings also support discovery.
