UI Mobile App Design | 2022
TRAVVISI
Travvisi is an all in one Travel App that allows users to book and plan a trip with friends. My client wanted to create Travvisi with the millennial traveler in mind. By removing the guesswork in vacationing, Travvisi helps users figure out what to do, where to go, and how to get to their next trip.

OVERVIEW
The main objective of this project was to create a visual design with wireframes provided by my client. With no previous research to guide me, I had to make audits and enhancements using my best judgment and good UI practices to create a user-friendly interface.
Challenge
Solution
I combined UX principles to improve the look and functionality while adhering to the client's vision.
INSPIRATION
Mood Boards
For my own inspiration, I created a mood board to help guide the voice of the design. I was inspired by blue skies, bright colors, and vacation destinations.
The primary colors of the app and the main sign-up page were directly inspired by the curvature and color contrasts found in this image of the desert. I incorporated a paper plane to balance the space and compliment the plane featured in the app logo.
WIREFRAMES & DESIGN
Finding the balance
I was given a set of wireframes from the client that expressed their desires for pages and features. I was able to note a few opportunities to make the overall design more user-friendly. I created a plan for how I would approach building out these frames while maintaining the integrity of the client’s vision.
Goals:
Consolidate screens wherever possible
Give the user more options in functionality and features
Stay within the client’s needs and expectations with all improvements

Final thoughts and takeaways
As a UI project, done without any research, I believe it would be a great learning experience to apply more UX methodologies to improve upon the flow and design of the app. Eventually, I would like to make iterations that reflect more applied design thinking.
