Marketplace — UI/UX Designer

Summary
We're building a marketplace connecting two types of users: one side creates a detailed public profile, the other side browses freely and can answer a short questionnaire to see a compatibility % with each profile — no account required on the browsing side.

First task: a short competitive audit of one existing platform in this space, flagging what works well and what doesn't (onboarding, profile browsing, trust signals, mobile experience, etc.). This informs the design direction before any screens are built.

Scope after that:

Homepage, browse/grid page (with a "Featured" vs "standard" listing split), individual profile pages
Multi-step profile creation wizard (tap-friendly button choices, not dropdowns)
Matching questionnaire + results screen with match %, tags, and a soft "preferences differ" flag for sensitive mismatches
User dashboard (sharing tools, basic stats)
Logo
Mobile-first — most traffic will be shared links opened on phones

Process: competitive audit → Figma designs, reviewed and signed off with us at each milestone → handed to our developer for implementation → we run user acceptance testing (UAT) on the finished build against the approved designs and the product spec. Keep it simple — clear, functional screens over anything overly clever or complex.

Deliverables: competitive audit (short doc or moodboard), logo, Figma files for all core screens + a component library (buttons, cards, form patterns) a developer can build from directly.

Nice to have: experience designing for marketplaces or products handling private/sensitive user data.

We have a detailed written product spec ready to share
