UTPark (Case study in progress...)
Description
This personal project was inspired by feedback from my roommate, who found the UTD on-campus parking app unclear and ineffective in helping her find parking during important events or exams. I took this as a challenge to improve the existing parking app to provide a better experience for students, faculty, and staff in finding parking spots.
KEY ACTIVITIES 📝
- Developed empathy maps to understand the frustrations and needs of various users, including students, faculty, and staff.
- Analyzed similar parking apps to identify best practices and features that could be incorporated.
- Created both paper and digital wireframes to visualize initial design ideas and layout improvements.
- Designed detailed mockups to illustrate the new user interface and enhanced functionalities.
- Developed user flows to ensure a seamless and intuitive user journey from finding a parking spot to navigating to it.
- Built high-fidelity prototypes to demonstrate the final design and interactive features of the improved app.
