The Concept
ILoveKitten is an iPad application designed to help kitten lovers connect with each other, a social platform built around a shared passion for cats. The project focused on designing the full UX, game mechanics, social flows, and iPad-specific touch interaction patterns.
Design Challenge
Designing a social experience for iPad requires thinking about touch-first interaction: larger tap targets, swipe gestures, landscape/portrait modes, and how social content flows on a tablet canvas versus a phone screen.
- Analysed functionalities and identified key interaction problems for tablet game UI
- Interface evaluation for touch-optimised game mechanics
- Designed user flows matching kitten lover goals: discover, connect, share

Key Learnings
- iPad game UI requires careful consideration of thumb reach zones and gesture patterns
- Social discovery flows need immediate emotional reward, the "aww" moment drives retention
- InVision prototyping enables rapid iteration and stakeholder feedback before visual polish
