Project idea:
This mobile app will share your location, safety notes, emergency info, ect. Users will also be able to ask for help using simple motion. This makes users feel safe when they go out and make it easy to get help from their friends, family and even other people near them.
How might we statement
How might we make a safer community and make all individuals feel safe wherever they go? By uploading your safe states and sharing your location with verified people we give users added safety benefits.
Research - User Interviews
User research will be conducted to add context to the design process, and is foundation to creating products, service, and systems that respond to human needs.
Personas
I conducted 5 user interviews to understand what my users really feel living and socializing in big cities to learn their life style needs.
After the interview I developed two users profiles summarizing their needs and wants in order to design the best possible experience for users.
Information Architecture (IA)
This system will help users to complete tasks easily by guiding them to what they need and helping them understand what they have found.
“Information Architecture is about helping people understand their surroundings and find what they’re looking for, in the real world as well as online”

The home screen provides users to access SOS contact and Add memo features and also users can see the map so that users know who is around them.
The priority of this app is structure and organization for an easy flow, so focus will be on the home page to SOS contact and Add memo pages will be designed very intuitive layout and simple.

The idea behind of wireframes is making it easy for the user to use the app. From the user interviews we learned that users have busy life style but want to feel safe when they go out.

Hi-fi
Test Prototype / Feed back
User wasn’t sure what the buttons do
A little more context through text or some other means might help users figure out how it works
Add home button
Based on the feed backs, I added onboarding pages.
Onboarding screen for users who are new to the app. There are multiple functions, it is displayed when the app is first installed.
Each page tells user what are the buttons are and how to use them.
