Scope

Design process

Design process

To make sure the whole team felt ownership over the new direction, I ran several design workshops with the team. We made a sketching exercise to quickly explore new ideas, and whiteboarding sessions to pressure-test our core assumptions about how people meet.

Feed

The hardest part of group discovery is that joining strangers feels risky. The feed shows shared interests, group size, and proximity before you commit so the decision to send a request feels informed, not blind.

Create event

Three step creation process: a short description, a time and place, and an invite list. The whole flow takes under a minute, making posting feel as casual as sending a message.

Profile

The profile leads with interests and personality signals (bio, star sign, work). The "Complete profile 12%" nudge encourages to finish profile creation without being pushy about it.

Chat

Chat unlocks progressively: first a warm intro moment ("Say hi to Mark and Tyler"), then a holding state while the group forms, then a full group thread once members join.
