🧭 What is Bookovo?

Bookovo was a conceptual mobile platform created to help Filipino students access diverse novels in an affordable and convenient way. The idea came from the real needs of students in Manila who struggled with the high cost of books and the limited selection in libraries.

🎯 Goal

Design an intuitive and community-focused mobile app that allows users to borrow and lend books easily. The goal was to build a connected network of readers and book owners who could share their collections and reduce costs through local exchanges.

🎨 Branding & App Design

I handled the full design process, starting with market and user research, then moving on to branding, wireframing, and UI mockups. The app was shaped around the concept of showing "Books around you" as the homepage. This choice aimed to make borrowing more immediate and build a strong sense of local community.

The design features a clean, modern interface with custom illustrations, a playful owl logo, and a simple browsing experience. A reward system was also introduced to motivate users to share their books and stay active in the app. The entire experience was crafted to balance usability, trust, and social interaction.
