The Movement

Make human connections visible.

The project

I partnered with John Wilbers and engineered The Movement to bring his vision to life: an invitation-based community with profiles, visible connections, and ways to recognize the people who shaped you.

The starting point was the connection between people. An invitation creates a link; the network map lets members explore how those links form a community.

How I built it.

Translate the vision

I translated John’s vision into the application’s invitation flow, member profiles, and network map.

Make relationships visible

The interactive map shows connections between members, making invitation relationships easier to understand and explore.

Add personal meaning

Appreciation lets members recognize the people behind those connections.
