Transformation Through Design for Black Owned Businesses
Build Black is an app designed to strengthen a community committed to building the social, economic and cultural strength and influence of Black people.


Celebrating and promoting Black businesses and artists through a digital platform to build Black love, community, and power.
We created an app that equipped the Sacramento Black business community with a means of collaboration and promotion.


Resource center
The app acts as a resource center allowing Black business owners and entrepreneurs to list and promote their products & services to consumers/purchasers beyond the community. Users can access resources surrounding technology & finance, health, arts, culture, events, announcements, and employment opportunities. Users also have the ability to create and join various groups through the app and connect with them through the messaging feature.
Direct messaging
This digital platform allows users to have direct conversations with members/groups. There is a messaging system that features a list of the members the user has contacted, the ability to start new conversations, a search function, and a stand-out area indicating number of new messages.
Job upload & search feature
Organizations are able to list detailed job opportunities in the app, where qualified candidates can review and apply to them.
