An Autos search with the default listing details displayed
Envisioned as a direct challenger to Craigslist, the 2012 startup aimed to create a classifieds interface that was not only good looking but pleasing to use.
The managing agency offered me a lot of flexibility so I imagined a number of new interface approaches crafted around the experiences of searching, discovering and reviewing listings as well as giving sellers better tools. Unfortunately, the project lost funding before going live.

I recognized early that the key to clarity in the search process was to include the essential information in each listing (and nothing more).
However, what's essential can vary by person. So, the design aims for a sweet spot of just the right information with the ability to fine-tune what's displayed by search filters.
An Autos search with the default listing details displayed
For Real Estate, Autos and For Sale items, category results can be shown or hidden for each listing and specific listing types can be excluded from the results altogether
Shoppers can also keep results generalized
Real Estate searches pair the filters with a map for more dynamic results
An expanded view of a listing continues the theme of "right information" for easier visual processing, which then enables the design to include additional features
Among other things, the expanded listing view includes a Comments tab to encourage a sense of community and to address common questions publicly
The dashboard design includes business details such as metrics as well as tools for engagement and management
The dashboard highlights our KPIs with comparative data in the sidebar and quick links to critical areas
The logomark embodies key principles for the startup such as connection and targeting. See more in Logos.
