Weave — Meet new people Weave
Type App Design
Platform iOS & Android
Duration 4 Months

This project explores Weave, an app built for young people — solo or in groups — to find strangers heading to the same events nearby — concerts, open mics, food festivals, art shows — and match before they even walk in the door, turning a night out into something worth sharing.

Design Process
Step — 1

Discovery

  • User interviews to understand how young people currently meet strangers at events.
  • Competitive analysis of social & event apps to identify gaps and opportunities.
Step — 2

Define

  • Synthesised research into personas and a core problem statement.
  • Mapped user journeys to pinpoint moments of friction and opportunity.
Step — 3

Design

  • Created wireframes and iterated on flows for solo and group matching.
  • Built high-fidelity mockups applying Weave's warm visual identity.
Step — 4

Deliver

  • Usability testing with target users to validate key flows and interactions.
  • Final screens refined and handed off with a complete design system.

Built to feel
warm & inviting.

What we
learned.

🧵

Context Makes Connection

Events are the perfect icebreaker. Designing around a shared destination removed the biggest barrier to meeting strangers — the question of what to talk about.

🎯

Safety Before Social

Users — especially young women — needed to feel safe before they felt excited. Verification, gradual disclosure, and trust signals had to come first.

👥

Groups Aren't Just Big Singles

Group matching required a fundamentally different mental model. Compatibility wasn't just individual — it was about energy, group size, and shared intent.

🧡

Warmth Is a Design Decision

Every rounded corner, every orange gradient, every illustration was deliberate. The app needed to feel like a warm invite from a friend, not a cold algorithm.
