Fyndor Marketplace app

Fyndor is a mobile marketplace app designed to make local buying and selling simple, secure, and efficient. By combining intuitive browsing, streamlined listing creation, and integrated messaging, Fyndor helps users discover great finds and connect with buyers or sellers in their community with ease.

About the project

The goal of Fyndor was to create a modern marketplace experience that simplifies the process of listing, discovering, and purchasing items locally. The application includes a personalized feed with search and category filters, detailed product listing pages with image galleries and descriptions, an inbox for managing conversations, a real-time messaging interface, and a user profile section for managing active listings. The visual identity was built around deep navy and teal tones to convey trust, reliability, and community. Throughout the design process, special attention was given to creating a consistent design system, intuitive navigation patterns, and accessibility-focused layouts that align with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.

Things I Did

For this project, I conducted competitive research on marketplace applications such as Facebook Marketplace and Offer Up to identify industry best practices and user expectations. I created low-fidelity wireframes to establish information architecture and user flows before designing high-fidelity mobile screens in Figma. I developed a mini design system that included a custom color palette, typography hierarchy, reusable components, and interactive states. Additionally, I designed and prototyped key user journeys including browsing listings, viewing product details, managing conversations, and maintaining a seller profile. The final prototype was tested and refined to improve usability, accessibility, and overall user experience.
