Whoin / Community discovery
Whoin: from community idea to mobile app
Whoin was built to help people explore communities and make connections. As co-founder, I worked across product design and implementation, using feedback to refine the interface and React Native to turn it into a working mobile app.
Result
Launched a community discovery app, carrying the work from interface design through React Native implementation.
- Year
- 2019–20
- My scope
- I co-founded Whoin and led its design in Figma and development in React Native, carrying the experience from early designs into a released app.

Open demo videoRefining the experience through feedback
The goal was to make exploration and connection feel approachable. I designed the interface in Figma and iterated on it using user feedback, refining the experience as the product took shape.
Working across the different screens helped establish a coherent visual language for the app and the interactions connecting them.
Carrying the design into a working app
I implemented Whoin in React Native, taking responsibility for the transition from interface designs to a functional mobile product. That connected the design decisions directly with the behavior people experienced in the app.
The release brought those design and development efforts together in a product for discovering and engaging with communities.
