Mobile Application Design for a Developer Community

The community site’s profile page on a laptop

Overview:

The community wanted a place where developers could present themselves without building a portfolio from scratch. I designed the mobile app and the matching website, from research interviews to the final UI kit.

Process

  • Interviews with twelve community members
  • User flows and low-fidelity prototypes
  • Usability tests on two rounds of prototypes
  • Final UI, component library and developer hand-off

Highlights

  • Profiles that can be set up in under two minutes.
  • A showcase layout that works for code, design and writing alike.
  • Dark and light themes from one set of design tokens.
