Nook: Mobile App Design

Link to Prototype

Overview

My Role: UI/UX Designer

Duration: July 2024

Tools: Figma, Canva

What is Nook? Nook is a prototype of an app that allows users to locate Little Libraries in their area, see which books are currently available, and submit books for drop-off if they wish. It is not affiliated with the official Little Library organization.

The Challenge: There are more than 150,000 registered Little Libraries worldwide, but it can be hard to know where they are and which books are inside.
