🚗 Rutgers Parking App Redesign
Team Project | Role: UX Researcher & UI Designer
Tools: Figma, Google Forms, Excel, Miro
Methods: Surveys, Usability Testing, Wireframing, User Journey Mapping 
Overview:
Designed to streamline campus parking, this app concept addresses key frustrations, such as fragmented systems and unclear regulations. Our team's solution combines parking information, payment, and availability into a single, user-friendly platform. I focused on user research and interface design, translating insights into features that prioritized convenience and clarity for Rutgers commuters.
Here are some low-fidelity wireframes as part of our prototype process:

My Role
As a UX designer and researcher on the ParkSmart team, I contributed to both the user research and interface design phases of the project. I conducted interviews and usability tests to identify key frustrations users experience with existing parking apps, focusing on convenience, consistency, and clarity of information.
Using insights from this research, I helped design several core app pages in Figma, ensuring that the interface was intuitive and visually cohesive with our goal of simplifying the parking process. I collaborated closely with my teammates to translate research findings into actionable design improvements, refine navigation flows, and validate our prototype through iterative testing.
