Branding

Developing the brand identity was the first step in our design process. With a standout logo and brand elements that capture the core idea of the platform, we shaped the basis for all the next stages.

Sign up flow

We created a multi-step sign-up form with the ability to choose the preferred technologies and based on that purchase the platform access.

Platform

We have designed a dashboard and dedicated pages for all the podcasts, conferences, community members, and meetups. These allow users to stay updated on events that they are interested in and build connections with community members.
