Kisstory Social App Personal project

In today's digital age we're surrounded by devices and an endless flow of photos and videos. But in all that noise it's easy to forget the simplest and most natural gestures, like a kiss. That's what inspired me to build a platform where you can preserve and share those intimate and heartfelt moments. A place to collect and cherish every kiss with the people you love. I created it from scratch, from the idea to the code, as a space to reconnect with the ones who matter most and keep those moments alive. App Store

SUSH: Virtual Pet Social App

SUSH is a Tamagotchi-inspired virtual pet app designed specifically for Gen Z, blending the charm of classic digital pets with modern social and gaming features. The platform offers a vibrant, theme-based world where users can raise and customize digital sushi pets, connect with friends, and enjoy a variety of mini-games—all while experiencing a sense of nostalgia and contemporary connectivity.

As the Senior Product Designer, I was responsible for every stage of the product, from initial concept and design to analysis, product quality, and game mechanics. I worked closely with growth and engineering teams to launch new features, optimize user experiences across mobile platforms, and develop a design rationale rooted in both qualitative and quantitative insights. My role also included running A/B tests and leveraging user data to refine and improve the app’s features.

SUSH quickly gained popularity, reaching over 4 million users. The app’s engaging social features, real-time pet evolution, and customizable environments made it a favorite among Gen Z users looking for meaningful, interactive, and fun ways to connect with friends and family.
