A mobile app for budget-conscious travelers exploring Echo Park
Over sixteen weeks, I collaborated with three other designers to create a mobile app that addresses the challenges new visitors face when exploring the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Our app aims to assist budget-conscious visitors by providing information about local attractions, including prices, and enabling them to create personalized itineraries for easier navigation. We developed a high-fidelity prototype of the app and conducted user testing with three individuals.

problem
Our research showed that many Los Angeles locals and visitors are unfamiliar with Echo Park. Financial barriers and misconceptions about the area create further obstacles for low-income individuals and families to explore the area.
solution
We wanted to find a way to create enjoyable experiences for budget-conscious visitors as they explore Echo Park. To address this, we developed a mobile app that helps these visitors discover new places and plan activities in Echo Park while saving money.
impact
We produced a comprehensive set of over 20 wireframes and mockups. These visuals culminated in the development of a functional prototype, which we then presented and tested with representatives of our target demographic.
