Glimpse is a user-friendly app designed for tourists and emerging creatives, encouraging users to walk and discover New York City’s entertainment. As the user takes on a walking route, real-time notifications about nearby venues such as galleries, coffee shops, and music spaces will highlight live performances, exhibitions, and events featuring new and upcoming musicians, and artists, offering users an opportunity to connect with their city’s vibrant culture.
Glimpse Mobile App

01 Concept
User Goal: To develop a product geared towards the younger generation, fellow event-goers, and people who enjoy exploring New York City, that encourages walking and discovering smaller-scale venues and hidden gems in real-time as they navigate the city.
Key Features: Receive instant alerts about nearby venues and events, a personalized walksummary of the venues the user has passed with the events, to discover live performances, exhibitions, and local happenings curated based on the user’s location using a GPS format and to bookmark interesting events or venues to revisit later or share with friends.
Audience Types: Young Adults, Emerging Creatives, Locals and Tourists, Event Enthusiasts
02 User Persona
Based on my user goal, key features and audience types, I developed a user persona that would be used to develop a user story and flow. Meet Ciara Brooks!
03 Lo-Fidelity Wireframes
With my research and persona complete, I was then tasked on conceptualizing an icon for Glimpse. The icon would be utilized as the app’s logo in which would be used on mobile homepages, notification pop-ups, and settings.
04 High Fidelity Screens & User Flow
After the low-fidelity wireframes were complete, I developed high-fidelity screens based on my wireframes, as well as developing an effective user-flow based on Ciara’s persona and goals.
05 Interactive Prototype
Based on the user flow I developed, I created an interactive prototype that I would use for prospective user-testing.
