Description

Stitch is a mobile app project focused on creator-brand collaboration. Creators can build a profile, show their work, add social accounts, set compensation expectations, browse campaigns, and swipe on opportunities they want to explore.

Businesses can create a profile, post campaigns with images and budget details, discover creators, and start conversations after a mutual match. The project combines product design, mobile engineering, marketplace thinking, release prep, and payment workflow planning.

Problem Statement

Businesses need creators who fit their campaigns, but the process can become scattered across cold messages, social profiles, screenshots, and long conversations before either side knows whether the collaboration makes sense.

Creators face the same problem from the other side. Good opportunities are hard to find, compare, and manage in one place. Stitch solves that by turning discovery into a simple swipe flow, then moving mutual interest into messaging.

Process

1

Defined the two-sided marketplace model around creators, businesses, profiles, campaigns, discovery, and messaging.

2

Built mobile onboarding and account flows so each user type could enter the app with the right profile data and permissions.

3

Designed campaign creation and editing with images, budgets, dates, descriptions, and business context.

4

Connected swipe discovery, mutual matching, and chat so creators and businesses could move from browsing to conversation.

5

Added product readiness work around content reporting, account deletion, subscriptions, Stripe marketplace payments, and app store release requirements.

Mobile flow

1 / 4

Swipe into a campaign

Creators browse campaign cards, review brand details, and signal interest without starting from a blank outreach message.

Full Results

The strongest result is a creator marketplace product with real mobile release momentum. Stitch is structured around practical collaboration workflows: creators can present themselves and discover campaigns, businesses can publish opportunities and review creators, and both sides can match, chat, and move toward paid work.
