Development and design

01.

Created a comprehensive user flow map

02.

Designed two separate UIs:

  • Driver screen: orders, route, trip status, trip history, total cost, order actions

  • Passenger screen: route map, fare, payment method

03.

Developed a visual style focused on:

  • Minimalism and high contrast for readability in varying conditions (day/night)

  • Clear emphasis on statuses and actions with minimal distractions

  • Synchronized trip status indicators across both interfaces

04.

Prepared a pitch presentation showcasing the complete trip scenario through the interactive prototype, from start to payment.
