Uber Explore: An App Redsign

Personal Project

Goals & Context


What is the goal?

Our goal is to create a turnkey solution to exploring cities.

What problem does this project solve?

As of now, ridesharing users struggle to compare travel estimates of costs between competing venues and often have to use multiple applications to find and assess potential destinations.

What is the vision?

Whether it is exploring a new city or discovering a new spot in town, by integrating crowd-sourced reviews of locations along with travel and price estimates, Uber can create a seamless and efficient travel experience.
