Pairlocal

Role: UX, UI and Brand Designer
Farmers markets are a big deal in the Northwest. But it’s difficult for community members to know where to start searching for local goods without these markets. Pairlocal is an online farmers market, where local people can connect with local businesses to buy local goods. It provides an easy-to-use Yelp-like profile for farmers, CSAs and other businesses, while giving the community a simple way to search for the goods they need.
