Design Process

07

Explore the Context

To build an understanding of the I conducted various interview and research. The goal was to find out the answers to our pre-set questions like "what are actural steps of traveling during pandenmic?" "What are the differences while traveling to different country?" Do they have any threshold while traveling?"

To clearly explore the each steps, I build a user journey map from the beginning of the travel ( Planning ) to the end of the travel (Arriving the Hotel).

Research Board

Opportunities & Insights

Based on the user journey map and research, all the stakeholders are defined including the travelers, the service providers, and 3rd party platforms. Opportunities are also found from each stakeholder's perspective.

Insights were found from different angel, various from business opportunites, missing services, missing inforations, and also emotional needs of the travelers.

Insights Board

Concept Ideation

The Concept Development phase started with ideating possible service structures from several directions like on- flight experience, crew member support, purchasing experience and etc.​

The final decision was made to design an entire system that includes a service platfor design, corresponding user interfaces,  a supporting products and infrastructures, and also the business strategy.

Concept Board

Refining the Design

While developing the concepts, rapid prototypes are made to exam our concepts. Test mockups are made to test the interaction between the service platform and the uses.

Digital prototypes are built to test out the workflow of the interior interface.

Refining the Design

After the design decisions were made, I started to refine the final design. Softwares like Adobe XD were used to make the user interface interactable. ​

Another Tech Pack were built to help userstandng the detail parts of the apps and interfaces.
