Things I Did

  1. Heuristic Evaluation & UX Audit
    → Analyzed the existing app against usability principles and identified pain points in navigation, terminology, and flow.
    → Defined user frustrations: “Why is verification hidden?”, “What does ‘Add Credentials’ mean?”, “Where is my data?”


  2. End-to-End Flow Restructuring
    Onboarding: Brought identity verification to the forefront with a clear, guided flow.
    Dashboard: Replaced the unhelpful “No Upcoming Travel” screen with a personalized greeting and contextual actions.
    Profile: Proposed a structured Data Privacy section for better user control.


  3. UI and Interaction Improvements
    → Simplified the OTP entry screen with a cleaner keypad and masked number display.
    → Improved visual consistency and hierarchy across screens.
    → Clarified navigation and layout to reduce user effort.


  4. Design Deliverables
