WHAT IT IS
A mobile application that helps users build a trip itinerary through swipe-based interactions and AI recommendations.
The product guides users through their decisions without overwhelming them.
OBJECTIVES
Travel planning is often stressful and cognitively demanding, leading users to lose clarity and confidence.
NovaNomader was already live, but showed friction at key decision moments.
MY ROLE
UX/UI Designer
Improving a live product by analyzing user feedback, identifying friction points and refining existing flows in collaboration with the product team.
NOTE:
The screens shown throughout this case study are intentionally low-fidelity wireframes. The focus of my work was on understanding user needs, identifying friction points, and improving the overall experience through UX research and interaction design rather than visual design.
MY UX SCOPE : 2 DIMENSIONS
UX Research & Core Experience
