Timeline
January - March 2022 (12 weeks)
My Role
Solo student project for Springboard UX/ UI bootcamp
PROBLEM
How to create a safe environment for people that attends events?
More uncertainty and risk are involved with going to large-scale public events. In the recent past, a higher incidence of tragedies has occurred. News events like these have the public concerned.
THE SOLUTION
WHITE PAPER RESEARCH
Let’s look into some past events and see what happened.
THE MAIN INSIGHTS
Let’s see what insights we got from the interview and what did the interviewees say.
INTERVIEWS
I interviewed a couple of people to get more insights and identify the pain points for those who don’t want to attend events that often.
5 people
30 mins long each
Zoom
“KEY” questions about the interview
What makes you concern the most when you attend events?
How to gain your trust back to attend events again
Any other difficulties when you attended events?
According to Meeting Skifts,
Event attendance stalled at 65% post-pandemic…
TESTING + IMPROVEMENTS
3 major improvements in my design
Based on various feedback from 8 other peers + mentor feedback, I continually iterated my design over the span of 2 weeks- with 3 major improvements:
According to EMS 1
Attendees will have a 40% chance to experience an emergency at a large-scale event.

THE PERSONA
CONCLUSION + FINAL THOUGHTS
What I’ve learned in this project……
I learned that this was a niche many event attendees were excited about and had much to say. After much research, testing, feedback, and design, I designed an app from start to finish that provides an app with a start-to-finish event experience for event attendees.
As a designer, you should not be afraid to scrap everything and start over. The goal is to create a solution, not a masterpiece. I used to care about UI more than UX, but the fact is building a solution for people to improve their lives is way more important than just looking cool.
As a designer, I don’t think there is a perfect finished product. There will be problems with the app; all we can do is test and iterate to keep the app improving.
