About the Project

When I joined Travely, it was nothing more than an idea - a vision of a smarter, more intuitive way to plan trips. Over 11 months, I built the platform from scratch, designing every interaction, feature, and screen from the ground up. The goal: a seamless travel planning experience that adapts to each user’s preferences, guides them during their journey, and makes trip management effortless across web and mobile.

Travel planning is inherently complex, and users faced multiple pain points

  • Managing trips across disconnected tools and platforms,

  • Lack of personalization for travel preferences, budgets, and interests,

  • Difficulty planning before trips and navigating while traveling,

  • No intuitive interface for discovering attractions, routes, and activities.

The challenge was to turn these complexities into a seamless, intuitive, and delightful experience.

My focus lied in
  • User-Centric Design: Make planning intuitive and enjoyable,

  • Comprehensive Trip Planning: Enable full control over itineraries, routes, and activities,

  • Unique Features: Personalization, interactive trip guidance, and in-app discovery.

We built Travely from scratch
  • User-Centric Platform: web and mobile apps optimized for planning and in-trip usage.

  • Trip Planner: save itineraries, receive intelligent suggestions, and enhance routes.

  • Preferences Management: personalized recommendations based on interests, travel style, and budget.

  • Interactive Features: explore attractions, leave reviews, follow curated routes.

  • Design Consistency: flexible design system for scalable, cohesive UI across platforms.

  • Cross-Platform experience: Fully responsive interfaces delivering seamless access on web, mobile, and tablet.

This solution transformed travel planning into an intuitive, personalized, and engaging experience.

I focused on the Process of Design Thinking & Lean UX
  1. Empathize
    Conducted stakeholder and user interviews, created personas, and performed competitor audits to define the vision and identify core user needs.

  2. Define
    Developed sitemaps and structured the platform to clarify main functionality and guide a seamless user experience.

  3. Ideate
    Brainstormed features with stakeholders, exploring innovative solutions like personalized trip recommendations, custom walking routes, and preference-based notifications.

  4. Prototype
    Created low-fidelity wireframes and interactive prototypes to validate functionality and test flows early with users. Produced high-fidelity mockups later on, as well as a flexible, scalable design system to ensure consistency across web and mobile platforms.

  5. Test
    Ran usability tests with Maze and HotJar, collecting actionable feedback to improve engagement and experience.

  6. Iterate
    Incorporated insights from testing into multiple cycles of refinement, continuously enhancing usability and feature clarity.

  7. Launch
    Delivered a fully designed, user-ready platform with clear documentation, ready for development and future updates.

During this steps I actively facilitated workshops, held iterative design reviews, and engaged in cross-functional teamwork to align stakeholders, encourage innovation, and ensure smooth delivery.
