Gripple
Creating a social networking application
conducive to meaningful interaction.
Project Context
Gripple is a social networking app concept I imagined to explore a clean, user-centered experience focused on authentic interactions. The goal was to offer a lightweight alternative to existing platforms, emphasizing simplicity, fluid navigation, and the essentials of social features.
My Role
- Full UI/UX design (Figma mockups)
- Screen architecture and layout design
- User flow prototyping
- Creation of a modern visual identity
Key Features
- Sign up / Login
- Create posts (text, photo, video)
- Minimalist news feed
- Likes and comments
- Follow system (followers)
- User profile with bio and photo
- Notifications (designed but not connected to a backend)
UX Strategy / Proposed Solutions
Gripple’s user experience is built around smooth and intuitive navigation, with well-spaced elements and a clear visual hierarchy. I prioritized core features to avoid functional overload, which is often a source of distraction on traditional social platforms.
