Messaging & Invites Mobile Chat UI

This is my first UI design - this shot is combining the familiar UI elements of Messenger and Instagram, while focused on delivering simplicity, practicality, and usability. A tab bar provides ease of reach for the user.

EDIT: I see now that this shot violates several UI design principles such a alignment and consistency. I still keep the shot here to keep a record of how far I've come in my design journey - a humble reminder of where we all start 🙏🏼
