STACKS
Michael O'Connor Collection App
DIGITAL PRODUCT
Stacks is a mobile app that transforms access to the Michael O’Connor Poster Collection. By introducing a TikTok-inspired vertical scrolling interface, it solves the challenge of exploring over 2,800 posters, offering an engaging and intuitive way to discover and interact with the collection.
Stacks addresses the challenge of the unorganized, stacked display of the Michael O’Connor Poster Collection by providing a TikTok-inspired scrolling interface. Designed for art collectors like Gary and design students like Niamh, it enables seamless browsing, saving and organizing, with features like advanced search, personalized recommendations and social sharing, transforming a disjointed experience into an accessible digital journey.
Stacks was a collaborative project that combined the unique skills of our team to create a cohesive and engaging app experience. I managed team roles, assigned tasks and led the app's layout design and the creation of the design system. Ronan Chin developed the app's identity, crafting its visual branding, while Dawid Wdowiak focused on designing the shop section, ensuring a seamless and user-friendly experience. Together, we brought the vision of Stacks to life.
Stacks goes beyond simple browsing by offering innovative features like print-on-demand and augmented reality (AR). With the AR functionality, users can visualize how a poster will look on their wall before making a purchase. Once selected, the concept is such that the print-on-demand service ensures a high-quality copy of the poster is delivered directly to their address. These features combine convenience and interactivity, making the app a comprehensive tool for both discovering and owning iconic posters.
