Design Systems can seem complex, but they don’t have to be. This is a simplified version (mainly through visuals) of Echo Design system. The project aimed to create a centralized design system for HP printer control panels, encompassing diverse screen sizes ranging from 2.4 inches to 22 inches. This system aimed to address inconsistencies in styles, reduce duplicated efforts, and enhance collaboration among designers. 

Echo Design System: A visual & simplified breakdown of its purpose & impact.

Hi, I’m a UX Designer at ATI Robotics with 2+ years of experience, working at the intersection of UX design, HMI, industrial robotics, and AI-assisted design-to-code workflows. With a background in Computer Science and a Master’s in Interaction Design from NIFT Mumbai, I design intuitive, scalable, and accessible experiences across HMI, cloud platforms, and design systems. I love all things tech and design especially problems that keep me thinking, solving, and iterating with AI-assisted tools. Outside work, I enjoy street photography, exploring typeface design, reading books, and hoarding more books than I can possibly finish.

I designed a series of email templates and screen ideations for the Swish Club eCommerce app, aimed at improving both user engagement and the overall interface experience. My work involved crafting visually appealing and functional designs that aligned with user needs and business goals. The email templates were designed to increase interaction through compelling calls-to-action and personalized content, while the screen ideations focused on streamlining the user journey, ensuring a seamless and intuitive experience. Both elements were strategically created to enhance retention and user satisfaction within the app.



I enhanced the parking experience by applying design thinking principles, generating ideas, and wireframing user-friendly app interfaces to improve usability and convenience. Additionally, I developed visual designs for WOLP’s Technical Specification Book, working closely with architects to align designs with logistics park requirements. This collaboration ensured that the designs addressed both technical needs and practical challenges, creating an effective communication tool that bridged the gap between specifications and real-world applications, thus improving workflow and operational efficiency.

This case study explores the redesign of the Rapido app, focusing on enhancing safety and building trust for female users. We aimed to address concerns related to hygiene, safety, and overall user experience, while also fostering a sense of emotional connection with the platform.

You can head to this <a href="https://www.behance.net/gallery/183313355/UX-UI-CASE-STUDY-RAPIDO-REDESIGN">link</a> to find more.&nbsp;

Rapido, a popular bike-hailing service, faced a challenge in attracting and retaining female users due to concerns about safety and hygiene. User interviews revealed anxieties about helmet cleanliness, route familiarity, and the lack of dedicated safety features.  The absence of essential information like waiting times and clear rider profiles further compounded the issue.

This lack of trust and assurance hindered the growth of Rapido's female user base, creating a need for design interventions that addressed these concerns.

To gain a deeper understanding of user needs and pain points, we conducted a series of user interviews with female Rapido users.

Key insights from the interviews revealed:

We also conducted a competitive analysis, examining features and functionalities offered by other ride-hailing platforms, particularly those targeting women.

Based on the research findings, we brainstormed design solutions focused on enhancing safety, building trust, and improving the overall user experience. Key concepts explored included:

We created wireframes to visualize the layout and flow of the redesigned app, prioritizing clarity and user-friendliness.

A high-fidelity prototype was developed in Figma, allowing for interactive testing and user feedback. The prototype incorporated the following key features:

The visual design aimed to create a calm and reassuring aesthetic, using a palette of soft colors and clear typography. Icons were carefully chosen to convey information effectively and minimize cognitive load.

Usability testing was conducted with target users to gather feedback on the redesigned app's effectiveness and ease of use. The insights from testing informed further iterations and refinements to the final design.

One challenge we faced was balancing the introduction of new features with maintaining a familiar and intuitive user experience. To address this, we prioritized incremental changes, introducing new features in a way that was easily accessible and understandable to existing users.

Another challenge was ensuring the effectiveness of the SOS feature. To address this, we designed a user-friendly interface that allowed users to easily activate the feature and share their location with emergency contacts.

The redesigned Rapido app incorporates a range of features and micro-interactions aimed at enhancing safety and fostering an emotional connection with female users.

These features, combined with a visually appealing and user-friendly design, contribute to a more secure and empowering experience for female riders.

This project reinforced the importance of conducting thorough user research to identify and address specific needs and pain points. It also highlighted the value of incorporating micro-interactions to enhance the emotional connection between users and the platform.

Looking back, I would have focused more on testing the design with a diverse group of female users, representing different age groups and socioeconomic backgrounds. This would have provided a more comprehensive understanding of user needs and preferences.

The redesigned Rapido app has the potential to significantly impact the company's female user base. The focus on safety, hygiene, and emotional connection creates a more trusted and reassuring experience, encouraging greater adoption and loyalty among female riders.

Future plans for the project include ongoing user feedback gathering, continuous iteration of features, and exploring innovative ways to further enhance the safety and security of female users.

This case study details the redesign of the Rapido app to improve women's safety and emotional connection, resulting in increased trust and usage.
