WAX

WAX is more than just a dating app - it's a global social platform where open-minded people connect without judgment. From the very beginning, I played a crucial role in shaping WAX's success. I collaborated closely with WAX's team to break through social taboos, helping the platform build a worldwide user base and secure multiple rounds of funding.

A safety-first user experience

A safety-first user experience

When WAX approached me to design their social dating app, I knew it was more than just creating a platform for swiping. My mission was to build a judgment-free space where users could truly find their tribe. I placed safety, privacy, and security at the heart of the design, ensuring that every user felt secure and free to express themselves.

By prioritising these elements, I helped WAX create a platform that stands out in the crowded dating app market, offering a unique, inclusive space for open-minded individuals.

Designing Beyond Swipes

Each feature of the WAX app - Dating, Events, and Communities - was meticulously crafted to cater to a unique, open-minded audience. The design is bold, intuitive, and completely distinct from any other dating app, prioritising user privacy and safety at every step.

Every interaction within the app was designed to empower users to connect freely and confidently, making WAX not just a dating app, but a secure, vibrant community.

Branding Beyond Boundaries

Branding Beyond Boundaries

WAX needed a brand that speaks to its bold, open-minded community. I crafted a visual identity that defies conventions, making a strong statement across all touch points. From impactful billboards to sleek app icons, every element of the WAX brand was designed to connect and resonate with its audience.

Authentic Social Connections

Authentic Social Connections

I crafted social content to authentically reflect the brand’s unique, open-minded ethos. A key challenge was navigating platform restrictions while ensuring compliance with content guidelines, allowing us to run successful Meta Ad campaigns.

Through strategic content planning and creative storytelling, we grew the community, increased engagement, and maintained a positive brand image that resonated with the audience, all while staying true to WAX’s vision of a judgment-free space.
