Initial Design

Initial Brainstorming

Original Features

  • Scenic Route Planning

  • Community Creation

  • Smart Route Algorithm

    Pick the best route based on user preferences for attractions and transportation modes

  • Gamification System

Our initial brainstorming session focused on identifying features that would address the core problems discovered during user interviews while promoting active transportation and community engagement.

These initial features were then refined through VSD envisioning cards and user story development to better align with our core values and user needs.
