Shelf Swap

Shelf Swap — UX/UI Case Study

Shelf Swap is a community-driven mobile application designed to make book exchanging more affordable, sustainable, and accessible. The project focuses on connecting readers within local communities, allowing them to discover, list, and exchange books through a simple and engaging experience.

The UX process included user research, interviews, competitive analysis, user personas, empathy maps, user journeys, information architecture, wireframing, high-fidelity UI design, prototyping, and usability testing. Key features include location-based browsing, swipe-based book discovery, secure in-app messaging, user profiles, book listings, filters, and a flexible exchange system.

The goal was to create a clean, intuitive, and trustworthy platform that encourages readers to give unused books a new life while building connections within the reading community
