Girlies
A safety-focused social discovery platform that splits professional and personal identities within a single app.
System Context
Girlies tackles privacy concerns in networking apps by building a secure, hard partition between social discovery and career connections.
[ The Problem ]
Social networks force you to mix your personal life with your business connections, leading to awkward overlaps, spam, and privacy concerns when meeting new people in person.
[ The Solution ]
I built a dual-profile database system that lets users toggle between social and professional modes, completely isolating their data, messages, and matches while providing real-time safety check-ins.
