The outdoor app guida - safer adventures is an innovative solution developed to enhance the user experience within the outdoor sports sector, specifically catering to hiking and e-biking enthusiasts.
Software that creates a skill level for all users in the hiking and e-bike sector based on simple questions. This is then compared with the requirements of the environment (tour).
The primary objective was to create a positive and seamless user experience that ensures safety, convenience, and enjoyment for outdoor enthusiasts.

The overall goal was to develop a positive, easy-to-use user interface that fits the context of the outdoor sector and the needs of outdoor enthusiasts.

1. Understanding the context of use

• Conduct research to analyze comparable applications (competitors) in the field.

• Conduct two surveys to gain a better understanding of the target audiences.

• Conduct field observations to gain insights into actual usage behavior.

• Creation of personas with a focus on psychological needs in the outdoor sector.

2. Defining requirements for use

• Development of concepts based on the identified psychological needs of the personas

3. Design solutions

• Creation of scripts and wireframes to visualize the planned functionalities.

• Conducting design discussions with the consulting team as well as in workshops to gather feedback and improve the design.

• Developing prototypes using Figma 

4. Testing & Evaluation

• Conducting usability tests with potential users and integrating their feedback 

• Project management

• User research & desk research

• Conducting the user interviews

• Execution of two surveys for user insights

• Identification and definition of needs of the potential users

• Creation of personas for hiking + e-biking

• Creation of prototypes Figma (design + functions), then handover to external designer.

• Usability testing

• Evaluation and implementation of the insights from Usability Testing

At this point, I would like to explicitly mention that the state of the illustrated user interface was developed by Eric Gerhardy and further developed in cooperation with me.​
