The Strategy

The main aim for the app and desktop interface design was to prioritize user-friendliness, fostering a strong connection with expats, a top priority for Seoul Searching, and encouraging new travelers to embrace the experience. The core values revolve around customer care, ensuring a straightforward brand design to enhance our identity. To engage users, I used vibrant brand colors reflecting Seoul's nightlife, along with captivating images of the city's bustling life.
