Overview
Founded at the start of 2020, FlairBox is a global community of performers that allows individuals to perform, connect and get discovered for their talent. Armed with a brand and a vision, Flairbox approached Shoreditch Design to design their community web application.
“Flairbox was one of our first clients, and being a start-up themselves, both parties walked into this project at similar stages in our organisation’s journeys. Armed with a brand, Flairbox approached us to design their new web-based application, a social platform where aspiring actors, directors, agents and managers could meet, upload content and apply for work. As this was a brand-new product, it provided us with the perfect opportunity to thoroughly research, test and design in-depth UX flows and UI components. The team at Flairbox were a pleasure to work with and gave the team valuable experience in how a successful project should run.”
Our design thinking
The two founders were from the acting community; they gave us a good foundation of what the community needed. We undertook research to ensure that this platform's features were original and unique to what already exists. After listing out the requirements and doing extensive research into other community web applications, we got to work. Starting with UX, we mapped out the whole application, allowing us to highlight any potential pinch points. After the UX design was complete, we moved onto designing the UI, which would be intuitive and inclusive for all users.
Finished product
Launching towards the end of 2020, Shoreditch Design worked side by side with the founders to create a community web application which has connected thousands within the acting community. Ranging from actors to managers, directors to talent scouts, Flairbox provides users with an intuitive application that aids them with their career goals.
