Conceptual App Design for freelance marketplace Contra

Overview 🔎

It's a Conceptual Passion project I took as a Product Designer. It was for Contra itself. As you know they are a 0% commission Freelancing platform with really high-quality opportunities. They already have a website in place and a very beautiful one indeed (Kudos to the Product team on that 👏).

Problem & Solution 🤝

I had been a part of their community for quite some time then and severely wanted an app.

It was hard to open a website all the time to check up on your projects or opportunities. Also, the notifications got lost sometimes.

Goals/Requirements:

The primary goal was to come up with a conceptual design for the app that not only caters to existing features but also the features that users are requesting for.

NOTE: Contra already has a very beautiful brand style guide consisting dreamy gradients and shapes, so I didn't try to revamp it. The design was mainly focused on Information Architecture and understanding the problems users were facing.
