Overview

A product system shaped around everyday operational work.

A mobile community experience connecting users with conversations, campaigns, resources and collective-action initiatives through Reframe's existing digital platform.

The challenge

Reframe already had web-based community and campaign experiences, but delivering those capabilities through a reliable mobile application required careful integration with the existing authentication, API, navigation, payment and content systems.

The solution

Kasel worked on a mobile application architecture that connects to Reframe's existing platform, presents community content in a mobile-friendly interface and prepares key workflows for Android and iOS use.
