GOAL

Designing a space that encourages real-time creative dialogue and feedback among UX designers.

Designing a concept that allows for intuitive access to critical tasks and information.

Flint is an iOS mobile app and creative community for aspiring to mid-level UX designers. The platform invites users to post portfolios, case studies, wireframes, and resumes at any stage of their process for thoughtful feedback and interactive discussion from the community.

CHALLENGE

UX communities are fragmented, passive, and lack support for real-time collaboration.

Despite platforms like Reddit and Slack, designers still struggle to receive timely, structured feedback. Posts often go unnoticed, and current tools lack multimedia flexibility, engagement, or ability for real-time critique. Designers are left stuck to their own critique and inactive design spaces.

OUTCOME

A fully prototyped iOS experience designed for immediacy, depth, and community-led critique.

The iterative process led to a collaborative platform mirroring in-person creative sessions. Supporting diverse communication styles, structured feedback loops, and live discussion spaces.

USER RESEARCH

Listening to the current conversations before building.
