Project Snaps

A field photo app for crews who do not have time to fight their software.

Project Snaps was a mobile-first product concept I designed with a former colleague. The idea was simple: make it fast for contractors to capture jobsite photos, tag them, and find them later, even when the signal is bad and nobody on site wants to manage another upload queue.

It did not launch commercially, but the product work went deep: flows, responsive patterns, prototypes, and a complete interface system.

What I designed

• End-to-end UI for capture, tagging, uploads, project views, and reports
• Mobile and tablet flows meant for field use, not desk use
• A reusable UI system for repeated project, photo, report, and review patterns
• Interactive prototypes for testing the shape of the product before building it
• Core flows for upload, search, sharing, tagging, and review

Role

• UI / UX design
• Prototyping
• Product systems thinking
• Competitive review
• Feature planning

Constraints that shaped the system

• Unreliable Wi-Fi and inconsistent field connectivity
• Fast capture and tagging while people are busy on site
• Usability for crews, superintendents, and contractors who are not looking for another admin tool
• A narrow product scope, so the app stayed useful instead of becoming a general-purpose dumping ground

Outcome

I led the design end to end: workflow design, component structure, responsive patterns, and prototype development. The result was a complete mobile-first product design shaped by real construction-site constraints.

What this demonstrates

• Product UI shaped around real field conditions instead of ideal desktop workflows
• Mobile-first interaction design for capture, tagging, uploads, search, and reporting
• Reusable interface patterns for repeated project, photo, report, and review states
• Workflow modeling across multiple user types and jobsite constraints
• Prototype-driven product thinking before committing to a build
