SQWhere.com: Designing a User-interface Using Hyper-Local Contextual Knowledge to (Re)Construct a Community Building Gathering Space

SQWhere.com is a Vancouver-based local platform that will be made accessible via an online website and through mobile phones. The SQWhere.com platform provides web tools that use mapping, tagging, search and transaction systems thus enabling social interactions and information exchange. The graphical user interface for the SQWhere.com platform which allows users to engage and navigate the application has yet to be defined or created. Thus, the intern will research, define and create the framework for the information architecture and visual design of the graphic user interface to positively impact the overall user experience.
