The app connects people through creative workshops in fields like art, music, cooking and more all based on location, interests and personalized recommendations.
Users can explore nearby events, save their favorite workshops, and connect with a local learning community. The simple and intuitive interface makes it easy for anyone to join and discover new skills.
Building community through personalized learning experiences
The app aims to connect users with local creative workshops tailored to their interests and location. Whether someone is looking to explore a new hobby or meet like minded people, the app offers a simple and enjoyable way to join workshops nearby.
The goal is to provide a smooth, accessible user experience with smart search, friendly interface, and personalized recommendations helping users learn, grow, and connect more easily.
Market analysis
Additionally, I looked at communication platforms like WhatsApp and Google Chat to understand how people connect and interact around shared interests.
My focus was on simplicity, clarity, and creating a user-friendly interface that encourages engagement and discovery.
Conversations with potential users for research purposes.
Throughout the UX and UI process, I identified three key challenges that commonly affect potential users
01 Difficulty finding relevant workshops
Many users don’t know where or how to search for workshops that match their interests, location, and schedule. This often leads to frustration or giving up entirely.
02 Lack of Personalization
Most platforms don’t allow users to save workshops, track their interests, or receive relevant suggestions.
This creates a disconnected experience and forces users to search manually every time, making it harder to stay engaged and motivated.
03 Information overload / lack of focus
When too many options or categories are presented at once, users feel overwhelmed. The clear demand: a clean, focused interface that’s easy to navigate – even for less tech-savvy users.
01
Smart Recipe Suggestions
An option that allows users to find recipes based on the ingredients they already have at home. Additionally, users can filter the results according to their personal preferences.
01
Smart Workshop Discovery
An option that helps users easily find relevant workshops near their location and based on their specific interests.
Users can browse by category (like music, cooking, art, and more), and see only the most relevant results personalized, clear, and nearby.
This reduces frustration and streamlines the search process.
02
Step-by-Step Guidance
Recipes are structured in a clear, sequential manner, with each step presented separately. Users can expand and collapse steps as needed, allowing them to progress at their own pace.
02
Personalized Dashboard and Favorites
The app includes a personal dashboard where users can save workshops to their favorites, keep track of attended or planned events, and receive custom recommendations.
This feature enhances user engagement, adds a sense of ownership, and turns the app into a personal space for creative growth.
03
Personal Cookbook
Users can save their favorite recipes to a 'My Favorites' section. Recipes are automatically organized into categories for easy navigation, allowing users to quickly access their saved and loved recipes.
03
Clear and Friendly Information Architecture
The app presents each workshop in a clean and organized layout, including essential details such as time, location, difficulty level, and required equipment.
The use of icons, consistent design, and intuitive navigation makes it easier for users to quickly understand the content.
This reduces cognitive overload and helps users focus on finding the right workshop without getting lost in unnecessary information.
