Hush: Immersive speakeasy discovery through narrative and AR interaction

Hush was a final-year UX/UI mobile app project that rethinks how users find and explore speakeasies. It uses geolocation, gamified storytelling, and AR to guide users through a clue-based discovery experience inspired by Art Deco aesthetics. The focus is on making nightlife exploration more interactive and atmospheric.
