The brief

Creating a mobile social network for flight crew members.

## The idea

Founded by a pilot and entrepreneur, FlyFriends connects flight crew, colleagues and friends headed to the same airport or city, so they can meet up safely and easily. It has since opened up to anyone who wants to meet people in the same place, based on the flight details they enter.

## What we did

We helped brainstorm the name, then built the wireframes, the user experience and the high-fidelity design, and chose a cost-effective tech stack for the MVP.

## The result

Once the concept was proven, we re-architected the app to scale with its users and released it on the App Store and Google Play in 2021.
