balıkesir | event app

frontend developer & ui/ux designer. mobile application. react native, figma.

a dedicated react native mobile application providing instant notifications and real-time listings for youth-focused events (concerts, theatre, cinema). it transitioned the municipality's image from institutional to a modern, accessible, and cool brand for young users.

challenge

youth events were scattered across social media and institutional announcements, making discovery unreliable for the audience that needed fast mobile updates.

approach

i designed a mobile-first event hub with a more energetic visual language, simple categories, and notification-ready flows for concerts, theatre, cinema, and local activities.

impact

the app created a central event touchpoint for a 100k+ youth audience and helped the municipality speak with a more modern digital voice.

40+ screens & ui/ux design: designed over 40 distinct screens in figma, developing a unique, modern, and engaging visual language that successfully moved away from the municipality’s traditional corporate aesthetic.

100k+ targeted user reach: targeted an audience of 100,000+ young citizens, creating a centralized digital space for social events that was previously unavailable outside of decentralized social media channels.

100% real-time system implementation: achieved 100% implementation of the instant notification system via react native, providing real-time updates (concerts, movies, etc.) and addressing the challenge of poor social event communication.
