Sprout is an innovative dating app designed to transcend superficial judgments based on appearance. Instead of focusing on looks, Sprout centers around personality compatibility by requiring users to complete a detailed personality trait test. Upon completion, each user is assigned a unique personality type represented by a specific flower.

Users are then placed into a digital garden where they encounter only flowers—profiles—that match their personality compatibility. This environment encourages genuine connections, as interactions are based on shared traits rather than physical attraction. Within the garden, users can explore detailed profiles and initiate contact, fostering meaningful and authentic relationships.

This concept exemplifies a thoughtful approach to online dating, prioritizing depth and personal connection.

During the process of creating this app, I gained valuable and practical experience in making wireframes and carefully planning web pages with Adobe XD. This essential step allowed me to clearly visualize the layout, structure, and user flow systematically before starting the actual development phase. Subsequently, I meticulously converted the wireframes into a fully functional and interactive website by writing clean HTML code, complemented by well-structured CSS for styling and responsive design. This project not only strengthened my understanding of translating complex design concepts into clean, efficient, and responsive web pages but also significantly improved my skills in both modern design tools and front-end coding techniques.
