Introducing Hikevista – it's an app designed for adventure enthusiasts, tourists, and hikers just like you! Imagine having an app that helps you plan your dream trips while allowing you to connect with fellow explorers in real-time, right on your journey. Say goodbye to unexpected surprises on the trail – Hikevista keeps you informed about route changes, terrain conditions, and any other challenges you might encounter.

More Information

Throughout this project, I conducted user interviews with four participants, performed competitive analysis, and conducted extensive testing. Additionally, this project includes creative breakpoints for responsive design, showcased in the prototypes. For more information on the research and project details, refer to the Hikevista Case Study below, or feel free to contact me.

Problem Statement

The current hiking app is lacking in several key areas. It fails to provide users with essential information about terrain and conditions during their trips, leaving them in the dark about what to expect in real time.

Solution

I have been designing important features to provide effective solutions for problems. I've included a feature that allows users to select their preferred terrain options when searching for a trip. The app can predict and notify users of any significant changes that may occur on their route. This is made through a notification feature and an option to communicate with fellow hikers.

My Role

My responsibilities encompassed enhancing the overall user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) through activities such as crafting user flows, sketching wireframes both on paper and digitally, and conducting testing sessions with users.

Conclusion

In this project, I successfully implemented essential features, including search filters, location-based notifications, route searching, and route saving. I believe I have created a high-quality UI design and theme that addresses a gap in the market. I adhered to design principles such as consistency and the incorporation of a comprehensive style guide.
