Tour Guru
Travel Planning App
UI/UX Designer (Academic Project)·2023
Overview
Tour Guru is a mobile travel planning concept that combines AI-generated itineraries with community-sourced tips. The project was built as part of my Google UX Design Certificate capstone, following the full double-diamond process from empathy maps and journey mapping to high-fidelity prototypes and usability testing.
Key Contributions
- Conducted 8 user interviews and synthesised findings into 2 primary personas.
