the goal

Create a seamless digital experience that connects users to local maker markets while making it easy for vendors to participate and sell.

The Challenge

Local markets thrive on community, but discovery and vendor participation often feel fragmented. Users need a simple way to find events, while makers need an accessible path to showcase and sell their products.

The Solution

A mobile-first platform that brings everything into one place. Users can sign in to view upcoming markets, explore event details, and quickly transition from browsing to action by listing items for sale directly within the app.

Outcome

The prototype demonstrates how reducing friction between discovery and participation can increase engagement, support local vendors, and create a more connected market experience.
