WanderKit

Creating an engaging onboarding experience

WanderKit

I joined WanderKit as a product design intern working closely with the head UX Designer and another intern.

My first responsibility as an intern for WanderKit was to redesign the onboarding flow and splash screen.

Information Architecture

Going into week one, I began working on a new information architecture for the app. This included the different features of the app such as the discovery, itinerary, bucket list, and connect page.

Onboarding User Flow

After creating the IA, I collaborated with another design intern, Haewon, to design the new onboarding experience.

Splash Screen

After creating the new onboarding experience, we focused on creating a new splash screen. The current splash screen emphasized travel and WanderKit was trying to move away from traveling and into connecting people with shared interest.

Iterations

Usability Testing

In the next following weeks, I conducted usability tests and interviews with potential stakeholders. This helped us identify which features we can leave out or include. It will also point out any flaws in the intuitiveness of the onboarding process. Clickable prototype -->

Iteration 01

With the development of the new splash page, I redesigned the sign in page to have a continuous flow and fit the new style guide.

Iteration 02

Email vs Phone #

It was clear in our usability testing that users would prefer connecting their accounts to their phone number. This would allow for easy a verification code to be easily autofilled and was the norm for other platforms that required authentification.

What I learned

Labeling for developers

Previously, I would name my screens based on the actions done on the page, but during this internship I collaborated a lot with the developers in which I learned the importance of labeling each screen in a way to help them easily update the app. For example, a screen I would previously label "Login," I learned to include the screen number and steps so it would look like "1.1a of 6_Onboarding_Sign In."
