Since its launch in 2009, Foursquare has had two core use cases: sharing your location with friends and searching for the best venues nearby. But in 2014, we made a bold decision to separate our two use cases into their own standalone apps: One devoted to sharing your location and the other for personalized local search.

As an evolution of the original Foursquare check-in experience, Swarm provides an at-a-glance view of all your friends and what they’re up to, making it easier to keep up online and meet up in real life.

As Foursquare’s Brand Designer, I worked closely with the Swarm team on visual design within the app while simultaneously collaborating with NY-based Design Firm, Red Antler, on the app's branding.
