Vibly — Experiences App
An app to discover experiences to share and meet people with the same passions.
Vibly is an app to discover experiences to share in a group and meet people with the same passions: a pottery workshop, a hike in the woods, sunset yoga on the beach, a painting class. It opens with three welcome screens led by a yellow mascot and a question: “Which emotion do you want to feel today?”. On the home screen experiences are grouped by interest, such as Adventure, Art & Culture and Sport & Relax, and each one shows photos, location, rating, available places, duration and price per person. From there users check availability and book. The tone is warm and playful: green and yellow, soft corners and a mascot that appears at the key moments.

Three screens to say what Vibly is
“Meet people who share your passions”, “Live real emotions”, “Wherever you are”: the welcome slides over photos of real groups, with the mascot stepping in with a different pose each time and search already waiting below.
Finding what to do, and who with
The home screen greets you by name and suggests experiences grouped by interest. Each card shows photos, place, rating, places left, duration and price per person, with a description of who it is for. “Check availability” and “Book now” stay under your thumb.
- Adventure
- Art & Culture
- Sport & Relax
In with one step
Sign-in and sign-up take one screen each: email and password, or Instagram, Google or Facebook. The mascot is there too, and the large fields can be filled in without zooming.
The group organises itself
Every booked experience opens a chat with the participants and the meeting point on a map. Afterwards it moves to past experiences, split into to review and reviewed, so the review comes while the memory is still fresh.
For hosts, not only guests
The profile counts past experiences, reviews and experiences hosted. From here you create your own experience, look for a collaborator, give gift cards and change language and settings. Next to this text the profile uses itself.
A recognisable face
A glossy, soft, yellow triangle-shaped character: it waves in the icon, runs through the welcome, meditates on the beach. It is the quickest way to spot the app among the others on the phone.
Design choices, step by step
Flows
We mapped the user's full journey, from the first launch to the review: welcome, sign-up, choosing an experience, booking, group chat and profile.
Wireframes
Every screen was first drawn in a bare version, with the taps marked on screen, to check that each step was clear before moving on to colour.
Interface
Green for actions, yellow for accents, photos of the experiences up front. After the first tests the text was enlarged by a quarter, to make it easier to read on any screen.
Mascot
A yellow triangle-shaped character that waves, runs and meditates. It appears in the icon, in the welcome screens and at sign-in, and gives the app a recognisable face.
Showreel
To present the app we produced phone animations showing the opening, sign-in, scrolling through the home screen and the profile, ready for the website and social media.
