Description -
For this assignment I decided to create my own vehicle connected app. I made most of my design decisions based off of research of current ones and what I have learned throughout my time studying ux design. I picked this specific idea because of my interest in electric cars and the newer technology that they have to offer. The goal of this app is to keep users up to date with their EV while also keeping it simple enough for new EV owners to understand.

I was tasked with creating an app for museums. Since this was a very vague ask, it was important to really consider what functions it should have. After lots of thought and research, Wander was created. Wander is an app that helps museum goers navigate museums while focusing on the pain points of time, crowds, and directions.

Figma
Description -
For this project, we worked with a company that gave us a prompt to design the screens for one of three different models of cars. From there we researched, wireframed, and presented our final designs that met the requirements given.

Re-design Electric SUV Screens

Designed on Figma
Description -
For this assignment we had to look at another car that we found interesting and trace the screens to create our own designs. I chose a Rivian R1T and created new screens that revolve around the needs of a user looking to get the most out of their off-roading truck while also being conscious of it being an EV. Since this is a newer combination, I found it helpful to research both off-roading cars and EV’s individually before combining my ideas.

Description -
For this assignment, I had to pick consistent feature I notices throughout a certain car type within its interface. After doing research across all kinds of cars and screens, I noticed that all electric cars included a visual of how much battery remains on the cluster screen no matter the mode. From there, I looked at the different ways brand displayed these graphics and wrote about their strengths and weaknesses while also giving my own feedback at the end.

Description -
For this project, I worked with a group of students to do UX research for the city of Ann Arbor. We spent 4 weeks doing interviews, surveys, and mapping regarding the city’s public transportation project called “Vision Zero”. So, we collected data from the residents and people who commute to Ann Arbor for their input on how the project was going so far.
