AccessPhilly is a citywide app built for Philadelphia to make discovering local experiences more accessible and inclusive. In collaboration with Blue Whale Apps, who led development, we handled the full design of the platform, creating an intuitive, user-friendly interface that helps residents and visitors easily explore upcoming events, find what’s new around them, and navigate local amenities. The app also highlights accessibility features, including accommodations for individuals with disabilities, ensuring everyone can better experience the city.

We designed a streamlined back-end portal that gives the City of Philadelphia team full control of the app without relying on developers. The system supports multiple user roles, including event organizers, moderators, and admins, each with tailored access. Organizers submit events through a guided form, while moderators and admins review, approve, or decline submissions. Admins can also manage notifications, update event details, and handle cancellations in real time. The UX and UI were built to be simple and intuitive, making day-to-day management efficient for non-technical teams.
