app design
Adventure Buddy
For my first school project I designed a digital prototype of an app tailored towards skiers
The process
Research

Research
I began by exploring the challenges skiers face when trying to find partners and mapping possible directions for the project. Through market and competitor research, I identified an opportunity for a more focused community platform designed specifically for skiers. An interview with a target user revealed that availability, compatible skill levels, trust and safety are central when choosing someone to ski with.
Define

During the define phase, I brought the research findings together to clarify the target audience, their needs and the values that would guide the product. Insights from the user interview helped me identify compatibility, trust and relevant skiing experience as key priorities, providing a clear direction for the design process.
Design & Prototype
Building on the research insights, I created a clear user story and mapped the journey from opening the app to finding and contacting a compatible ski partner. I then developed the concept through paper and digital wireframes before creating a visual identity inspired by mountain environments and the app’s core values of adventure, trust and expertise.
From wireframes to prototype
Styleboard, typography, colour palette & components
Test
To evaluate the prototype, I invited people from the target group, classmates and teachers to explore it and share their feedback. Their insights led to improvements in the structure, layout, colours, buttons, text sizes and component consistency, reinforcing the importance of iteration throughout the design process.
