Social

I've been working exclusively on a lot of web and admin applications recently. So, I created this app exploration concept to practise my mobile design and visual design skills.

I designed this concept in Figma and, the source file is available in the Figma Community. You can view the interactive prototype here

Final Thoughts

This app exploration was designed over a weekend. I had a lot of fun working on it. There was no research involved. After a couple of sketches, I directly jumped into Figma and started designing the same.
