What the Boston Made App does
Boston Made runs twelve brands. The app is where they come together: a directory that explains what each tribe does and how it earns, and a launchpad into each app and workspace.
It also holds the account layer — one sign-in and the Boston Made+ membership that travel across the network.
Who they serve
- Boston Made+ members
- Readers and players moving between Boston Made sites
- Partners and investors learning how the brands fit together

UX & UI
Design decisions
The choices that shape how visitors experience the site, and why we made them.
01 Map the family
The directory makes a complex brand structure understandable in a single screen.
02 Launchpad, not landing page
The primary job is getting people into the right app quickly.
03 Consistent shell
The same header, dock and sign-in experience across every brand.
