Infused a Hyperlocal Broadcasting Platform and App
Infused connects the digital life you live with the people and places you love. Infused is a hyperlocal broadcasting and publishing app you can use with your friends or the community around you by leaving music, art, video, or photos in physical locations. As users pass by these locations in real life, they receive a push notification with a digital message. Art and music is transformed from mere media into an experience by allowing users to see and explore where others were inspired. All of the messages sent with Infused are immediate, relative, and felt by their recipients. It’s the perfect opportunity share and discover inspiration in your city. Infused won many awards and its technology was highly valued by the real estate accelerator, ElmSpring in Chicago. The app won tons of press coverage from around the world. Further, the technology was eventually patented.

The Process
Infused initially started as a succussful Kickstarter campaign for an app called Chicago Poets. Over time, it was decided that we should open the platform to everyone. That's when the name changed to Infused.
Chicago Poets seperated the city into different regions and was initially conceived as a social network.
Infused relaunched as an arts magazine. Users could upload videos, music, and text to the site. We were just beginning to add the hyperlocal features and develop our patented technology.
In this version of the app, a neon color scheme was implemented. Users could upload various media through screens that looked similar to this one.
Users could access the media by clicking on icons on a map. When they did so, the media would open on a screen like this. Each media form had a different UI layout.

If you’d ask me I’d say Infused is like FourSquare for art, music and poetry. And it really is that
