UI/UX
Project Overview
Goal: Redesign a bus tracking app to help students track buses around campus
Year Created: 2026
My Role: UI and Visual Lead
Katch It is a bus app by students for students to help them track their buses around campus. It allows students to input their own school schedule to track their buses throughout the week. As the Visual and UI Lead for this project I contributed to the illustrations, design guidelines, and notifications, while also providing visual feedback throughout the app's development.
The Challenge:
Katch It began as a 48-hour competition challenging us to redesign our school’s bus app using AI tools — Claude (Anthropic), Google Gemini, and Figma Make. The result didn’t reflect the craft or clarity we wanted, so after the competition ended, we rebuilt everything by hand in Figma. AI-generated layouts served only as early inspiration.
The Solution:
As Visual and UI Lead, I worked on three main areas of the redesign: design guidelines, notifications and bus stops, and illustrations.
Design Guidelines
Developed design guidelines to keep design decisions consistent and intentional across the app.
Notifications and Bus Stops
