I collaborated with the Flickr UX team on an extensive redesign of the platform aimed at revitalizing its photo-sharing and viewing experience. Our goal was to transform Flickr into a visually captivating and user-friendly space for sharing, organizing, and discovering photos. Watch the video above for a comprehensive overview of the UI by Gizmodo.

My role included redesigning Flickr's onboarding flow and homepage, as well as introducing a new activity feed feature to showcase relevant content and connections. We also implemented customizable cover photos and high-resolution profile pictures to empower users to express their photographic identity.

By prioritizing visual storytelling and streamlining navigation, the project aimed to enhance user engagement and foster a more intuitive, community-focused platform, aligning with Flickr's vision of being a vibrant, user-centric space for photo enthusiasts.
