Delightful
Premium marketplace connecting local professionals through meaningful interactions and shared experiences.
Category:
Marketplace / Community
Project overview
Delightful is a community-driven marketplace where users can discover, connect and collaborate with high-quality professionals in their local area. The platform is designed not just for service discovery but for relationship building, offering opportunities for members to join experiences, events and group interactions that elevate the traditional marketplace model.
Our approach
We created a visual identity and product structure that highlights human connection at its core. Warm photography, clean layouts and thoughtful spacing allow professionals to shine while maintaining a premium aesthetic. The design supports both search-and-discover workflows and the upcoming social features, such as Delightful Videos, that further strengthen trust and community engagement.
Our priorities included
• Designing a premium visual identity that balances professionalism and warmth.
• Highlighting local professionals through portrait-forward layouts.
• Supporting community features such as events, activities and shared experiences.
• Ensuring intuitive navigation for browsing, filtering and connecting with professionals.
• Preparing the foundation for upcoming video features to enhance authenticity and trust.
