Curated Travel Guide App

Concept Development, User Journey, UX & UI Design, Art Direction

This is a personal project I worked on at a hackathon, AppHackSG, organised by AngelHack.

My mobile app design was shortlisted as a Top 10 Finalist (out of 36 teams) at AngelHack’s AppHack Singapore 2013, a global hackathon celebrating innovation and creativity in tech.

As the lead UX/UI designer, I led the design of a mobile app concept that was designed and prototyped with a cross-functional team in under 48 hours.

The app focused on solving a real-world problem through intuitive user experience and clean interface design. The recognition highlighted our ability to combine thoughtful design with functionality, delivering a compelling product experience under pressure.

The Idea Behind

Whenever I travel, I find it a hassle to crawl the internet & social media to scour for places to visit and plan an itinerary.

I often dream of having one platform that can do everything, and so I created an app that can do just that.

Putting Thoughts On Paper

Some sketches and wireframes to jot down my ideas. I wanted it to be a website initially, but I changed it to an app after deciding to join the App Hackathon.

The App Design & Content

This nifty app recommends curated tourist attractions, hidden gems, and allows you to bookmark your places of interests by pressing the “Heart” icon.

It is also smart enough to recommend you activities based on the time of the day. Eg. Breakfast places in the morning (AM), activities suitable for the afternoon (PM), and nightlife fun stuff (NIGHT).

You can then seamlessly move on to plan your day-to-day itinerary by the hour. Great for the OCDs like me.

Simply add any of your favourites to your “Planner” and wala! Your itinerary planning is done!

Beautifully designed. Having curated advice for travel could be interesting.
