Result : A secure and transparent experience
I designed a solution that allows a user to request permission to send photos. Once access is granted by the recipient, photo sharing becomes possible — and the authorization can be withdrawn at any time. This approach ensures both safety and trust between users.
Request a photo
From theory to practice
In addition to the main scenarios, I also considered less frequent use cases, often referred to as “edge cases.” These special situations were taken into account to ensure that the experience remains reliable and secure in every circumstance.
Permission revoked
Permission denied
Permission notification
Offline request
Network lost while sending photo
Photo sent after permission revoked
New request notification
Project conclusion
By providing a secure way to share photos, I addressed a major pain point and enhanced the overall conversation experience on Hinge.
The solution doesn’t just benefit users — it also creates value for the company by reducing churn and strengthening user engagement with the app.
This project demonstrated that it’s possible to innovate and streamline an experience while keeping security and user control at the heart of the design.
I deliberately chose to work directly in high fidelity to challenge myself and simulate real-world company constraints. This validated my ability to deliver a viable, usable concept quickly.
