Clinky

2017 – 2018 · iOS App

While working at Pixelmatters as Lead UX/UI Designer, I designed an iOS events app for Clinky, focused on nearby discovery, venue experiences, and exclusive offers.

The project combined event discovery, venue details, offer flows, custom illustrations, and iconography into a lively mobile experience.

Challenge

The biggest challenge was designing an events app from scratch. I started by reviewing an extensive client brief and mapping the product scope through user flows, helping clarify the app's complexity, structure, and core features.

Look and feel

Another challenge was defining a visual direction that captured the atmosphere of nightlife venues while still aligning with the client's vision. Early explorations used darker, punchier colors, while the final direction became lighter and more restrained, with vibrant accents throughout.

Crafting the UI

The interface brought together lively colors, custom illustrations, iconography, and a broad set of reusable components across the app.

Outcome

Designing an app of this scale and complexity meant solving a wide range of product challenges, from event search and filtering to venue validation and offer-claiming flows.
