Details

Unhinged is a dating app for the real ones! This is a very early stage startup that will allow for incredible collaboration and creative freedom in the process.

The goal is to design an engaging, intuitive, and visually striking app experience backed by research providing a seamless user journey.

Deliverables
  1. Project Plan- Identify goals, milestones, and set a timeline for the project
  2. Review requirements and existing designs- Familiarize themselves with the existing product to understand the requirements, design work, and feedback that already exists, and to identify gaps to be filled in the next stage.
  3. Through research and competitor analysis, create a fluid user journey based on user persona
  4. Create a prototype with hi-fi mockups
  5. Finalize- Handoff all deliverables and findings in a package that allows for your work to be easily understood and incorporated into future projects.



  • Design Audit- audit the current user flow to identify pain points, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement
  • Competitive research - analysis of direct or indirect competitors' design strengths and weaknesses, with actionable recommendations
  • User research- research plans, screener surveys, user interviews, and/or persona development to better understand users
  • Usability testing- summary of key findings and recommendations, or documentation of testing sessions to understand users’ experience of and interaction with your product
  • Redesign and/or redesign recommendations- design improved flows for the distinct user types. Workshop ideas and turn those into wireframes or mockups that show exactly how the solution could work
  • Prototype- once high fidelity mockups are complete, create a prototype in Figma that can be used to test and validate the designs
