Edizeven needed a mobile community app to better connect with hospitality employers and culinary job seekers, with a focus on scalability and trust. We set out to create a mobile app that would bring its community of culinary professionals closer together, fostering mentorship, networking, and career development beyond the job board.
Insights revealed a strong desire for peer support, mentorship opportunities, and quick access to local events and gigs. These findings directly shaped the brand and app’s core features.
We designed a clean, swipe-friendly interface with intuitive navigation, rich user profiles, and engagement-focused features that encourage daily check-ins and peer-to-peer support.
The design files were handed off with cross-platform compatibility in mind, that supports push notifications, in-app messaging, and moderated community spaces.
