ABOUT THE PROJECT
Seamless Trip Management App Design
This solo class project aimed at designing a trip-planning application that streamlines a traveller's experience by consolidating various reservations and schedules into a single, accessible platform for both iPhone and Apple Watch. The application targets the common inconvenience of juggling multiple apps for airline, hotel, and other trip information. By presenting all necessary details in one place and making them easily accessible right on the wrist, the app ensures that travelers can stay informed and organized with minimal effort. This concept enhances user convenience by allowing for quick glances and updates, providing a cohesive travel companion in a mobile and wearable format.

01 IDEAS
Ideas for travel pain points
How many times do you check your phone to get trip updates?
Juggling different apps for each slice of your trip, the forgotten password puzzle just when you're due to check in, and that nagging fear of missing a sudden gate change — travelling can sometimes turn into a series of stress tests. How many times have you pulled out your phone just to double-check your flight details?
Streamlined app interface
By condensing travel-related actions into a single app interface, my idea was to eliminate the pain point of toggling between multiple platforms, offering a cohesive, hassle-free experience for organizing and reviewing trip details.
Effortless information access with cross-device accessibility
Addressing the inconvenience of frequent phone handling, particularly while multitasking or in transit, the app delivers essential travel data to users' wrists, ensuring critical updates are accessible with a simple glance at their Apple Watch.
Personalized travel planning
To combat the often impersonal nature of trip planning, the app includes customization options, granting users the ability to modify and personalize their itineraries. This empowers travellers to tailor their journey details according to personal preferences and needs, ensuring a travel plan that feels individualized and well-curated.
02 SOLUTION
Intuitive travel experience design
Simplifying journeys
The app collates flight information, hotel bookings, and other travel-related data, eliminating the need for multiple apps and constant rechecking of devices. By integrating real-time updates and personalized itinerary management, the app offers travellers a stress-free way to access all their trip information, whether on their wrists or in their pocket. The prototype showcases a user-friendly layout, streamlined navigation, and seamless synchronization between devices, enhancing the overall travel experience.
03 REFLECTION
What did I learn?
Cross-device interface design
My work on this project has honed my skills in creating cohesive user experiences across various devices. This project reinforced my ability to design an intuitive solution that seamlessly bridges smartphones and wearable technology, ensuring continuity and ease of access for users on the go.
Essentials-first approach
Through this project, I've embraced the concept of the Minimal Viable Product (MVP), focusing on core functionalities that directly address user needs. I'm now skilled in distilling complex requirements into simple, elegant designs that deliver essential features without overwhelming the user.
