Something you need might be sitting unused a few streets away. That thought was the starting point for waazz. Bringing people together locally was intended to make it easier to pass things on and give them a second life nearby.

waazz.
Secondhand close to home. A local marketplace for listings and requests in your neighbourhood.
We developed the idea of a sustainable marketplace into a product designed to connect what people offered with what others needed nearby. This meant designing and building both conventional search and local requests.
Scope
Project timeline
People looking for something did not have to wait for a matching listing to appear. They could broadcast a request to the surrounding area, with push notifications drawing attention to it locally. An exchange could begin with a specific need, not just an item for sale.
The interface was designed to make secondhand shopping inviting. Large product images, clear categories and a bold magenta gave the marketplace its own visual identity. Price and location remained visible on the listings.
On a phone, search, categories and listings sat close together. Larger screens offered more room to browse. Recurring cards and controls kept navigation familiar across screen sizes.
