OpnSoul

about project

OpnSouls is a social app - one of several MVP-style social platforms we designed and built together with the client, each going through 3 focused iterations.
The core idea is to help people stay in touch and connect more deeply with those around them.In the app, users can post and view "circles" - short video or audio snippets on a specific topic. The platform features a collection of 1,000+ thoughtful questions that appear randomly. A group of friends has 24 hours to respond to the question, creating a space for shared reflection or fun. Users can also leave reactions and respond to each other's circles with text or voice messages, keeping the experience warm, social, and personal.

A vibrant accent color and a bold, heavy typeface were chosen to reflect the app’s playful and edgy personality. This visual style captures the confident tone of the product, balancing humor, boldness, and modern appeal - all in line with the tastes of its target audience.

Project Context & Goals

This project was part of a series of experimental social apps

The client had several ideas we developed into MVPs within a short timeframe to gather early feedback and user insights.

OpnSouls was designed specifically for student communities -encouraging connection among classmates, dorm neighbors, and peers. The main goal was to strengthen social bonds within campus environments, where students often remain disconnected from those around them.

The app allowed users to get to know each other through light, engaging interactions in a low-pressure, digital space - helping virtual introductions naturally evolve into real-life connections.

My Role
& Contribution

In this project, I worked as both the product designer and the main point of contact between the client and the design team.
I was responsible for visualizing the client's ideas, proposing creative UX/UI solutions, and shaping the overall look and feel of the app. This included everything from color exploration and typography choices to suggesting animation concepts that aligned with the playful tone of the product.I led design presentations, facilitated feedback sessions, and maintained close communication with both the client and the developers, helping ensure smooth handoff and consistent implementation across all iterations.
