QuickFlick was an iPhone application created by a business partner and I to help users quickly find movies and TV shows. At the time of its initial ideation in 2015, streaming service catalogs were primarily organized only by genre, leading to a sub-optimal content discovery experience. Taking inspiration from a typical eCommerce shopping experience, QuickFlick’s premise was that the combination of multiple filters – genre, cast, year, and rating – would deliver more robust and enjoyable content recommendations.
The application launched in Spring 2016 and provided the foundational experience that led to dozens of freelance projects throughout our time in college, and my pursuit of a career in web and marketing.
