CTZN is a social app that encourages volunteers to share stories with each other. We built it to help non-profit organizations grow and get the support they need, by becoming more visible to the public.

During the project I worked closely with our designer, Aldo, to express feature ideas as web prototypes. From these we created a web application, a stories page, and a promotional web site. We continually reworked these as new features and ideas came about. In the process, I made a pattern library so the team could easily find the latest designs and HTML to copy for new features.
