Seekesy

Seekesy is a start-up company on a mission to promote New Zealand’s beautiful landscape and encourage fellow Kiwis to explore it more frequently. To achieve this, they had the idea of creating a mobile social media app where users could find cool and interesting adventure spots within a set radius to their current location. The adventure spots are displayed one-by-one in a newsfeed-esque layout. The user can view an image that was taken in that spot, and a map pinpointing to where the spot is located. From there they can choose to add the location to their bucket list, or swipe right to the next adventure spot suggestion. The goal of the app is to allow users to find adventure spots around New Zealand efficiently and easily.

I was given the opportunity to design and develop the Seekesy mobile app for my end of year project at Ara, working full time at Seekesy from August until late November of 2017. The app is developed for the iOS platform.

Technologies Used: React Native, Redux, Firebase, Xcode etc.
