We are designing a gamified mobile platform for heterosexual adults aged 18–25 that helps users build fun, meaningful connections — not just casual hookups. The app focuses on authentic interaction, playful engagement, and emotional resonance, using game design principles to foster conversations and connection in a light, low-pressure environment.

Our users are socially active, digitally native, and looking for more than just swipes. They want to meet people in a way that feels exciting and genuine. By integrating features like personality-based challenges, shared mini-games, and progress-based matching, the app creates space for both flirtation and real discovery — without the superficiality of typical hookup platforms.

The tone of the UX should be vibrant and flirt-friendly, but respectful and emotionally intelligent. Think of it as a “feel-good playground” for social chemistry — modern, expressive, and built to bring people together in a fun-first, values-aware way.

1. Project Plan- Identify goals, milestones, and set a timeline for the project
2. Review requirements and existing designs- Familiarize themselves with the app concept to understand the requirements, design work, and feedback that already exists.
3. Present wireframes- of the entire user flow
4. Adjust the wireframes based on feedback
5. Finalize- Handoff all deliverables as visuals in a package that allows for your work to be easily understood, edited and incorporated into future projects.

• Competitive research - analysis of direct or indirect competitors' design strengths and weaknesses, with actionable recommendations

• Usability testing- summary of key findings and recommendations, or documentation of testing sessions to understand users’ experience of and interaction with your product

• Design- design 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
