Flyve is a community-driven platform designed to connect runners of all paces and levels, making it easier to find running partners and join group runs. Their mission is to foster an inclusive running community where people can share their goals and experiences, no matter where they are in their running journey.
At Flyve, one of my main challenges as a product designer was creating an inclusive experience for runners of all levels— from beginners to marathoners—while keeping the platform simple and intuitive. I needed to balance flexibility with ease of use, allowing users to join spontaneous runs or schedule ahead without adding complexity. Ensuring safety and privacy was also crucial, so I implemented features like location masking to protect users while enabling connections. Additionally, I focused on driving engagement by introducing social elements such as milestones and run streaks to keep users motivated. These challenges taught me how to design adaptive, user-centered experiences that foster both connection and trust.
The finished product at Flyve is a user-friendly platform that connects runners of all levels, making it easier to find running partners, join group runs, and stay motivated. The final design offers a personalized experience, allowing users to create detailed runner profiles that match them with others based on pace, availability, and goals. I implemented flexible scheduling features, enabling users to either plan runs in advance or join spontaneous ones, making the platform adaptable to different lifestyles.
Privacy and safety were prioritized throughout the design—users can connect without sharing their live locations, using designated meeting spots instead. To foster ongoing engagement, I introduced social features like milestones, run streaks, and event calendars, which encourage users to celebrate progress and stay active in the community.
The result is a simple, secure, and inclusive platform that brings people together through their shared love of running. This project reinforced the value of designing for diverse needs while maintaining a seamless and enjoyable user experience.
