Challenge

Due to the sheer volume of introductions at networking events, attendees struggle to initiate conversations and remember details of past interactions, hindering the ability to build genuine connections.

This problem led to an idea to create a multimodal AI assistant that captures conversation details like names, interests, or previous discussions. Upon meeting the same person again, the AI will prompt you with relevant information for conversation starters.

Objective

The goal was to build a digital hub combining journalism, user-generated content, and expert curation to deliver immersive travel experiences. By prioritizing cultural narratives over commercial tourism, the platform aimed to inspire and educate travelers while supporting local creators.

Results

Travel Easy became a trusted resource, amassing millions of readers and later expanding into bookable experiences. Its unique approach attracted partnerships with local writers and filmmakers, setting it apart from conventional travel agencies and establishing a loyal, culturally engaged audience.

Sketches

We started with 22 sketches and categorized them into 6 groups. We then rated all of them to discover which ones were most promising.

Storyboard

Our next step was to draw out a story board to visualize how our product would work. This helped us prioritize which interfaces we wanted to start out with.

Moodboard

This mood board showcases a dynamic and futuristic aesthetic, centered around a circular light board that exudes a modern and sleek vibe. The primary colors are neon green and black, creating a striking contrast that embodies energy and sophistication. The neon green adds a vibrant, electric touch, while the black grounds the design with an edgy, contemporary feel.
