OVERVIEW
Circles is a conceptual social platform designed to help people build genuine connections through shared interests and activities, rather than popularity or appearance. Created during my diploma studies, the project explores how a hobby-driven social experience can feel safe, approachable, and engaging for users who struggle with initiating conversations and meeting new people.

THE SOLUTION
Circles introduces interest-based “Circles” that allow users to create activity listings or topic spaces and connect through one on one or group chats. An integrated Ice Breaker Bot helps initiate conversations through light, game based interactions such as truth or dare and would you rather, while strict identity verification and the removal of visible rejection mechanics create a safer and more welcoming environment for all users.
