About

VYNO is a carpooling app for Africa

It connects drivers and passengers heading the same way, so rides cost less, cities move better and people share trips they can trust. Designed for Cameroon first, as a native app on iOS and Android.

Platform: iOS and Android, native apps
Client: Skyvue Solutions
Region: Cameroon: intra city and intercity
Timeline: 5 weeks

What I did

Research and personas
Researched how people share rides in Cameroon and shaped two personas: the driver and the passenger.
Flows to hi-fi
Designed the passenger and driver flows, from wireframes to hi-fi screens.
Admin panel
Designed the admin panel for ride and user insights.

Three problems, three fixes

What the research showed riders struggle with, and the screen that answers each.

Problem and solution, challenge 1: confusion at pickup, solved with a QR code, a map pin and the driver's car photo and plate

Problem and solution, challenge 2: improving ride discovery, solved with a smart filter and a virtual lift request

Problem and solution, challenge 3: trust in unknown drivers, solved with verified badges, ratings and ID status

From grey boxes to hi-fi
