Context-aware travel planning & real-time trip companion
Atlas is an AI-powered travel assistant that streamlines trip planning and real-time navigation, while enabling users to share live trip progress with friends and family.
I led the end-to-end design of the MVP across mobile, defining core product flows, interaction patterns, and visual direction — including adaptive UI themes (day/night) and AI-driven interactions.

Results & Impact
The Problem
Travel today is fragmented and reactive:
Travel today is fragmented and reactive:
- Users switch between multiple apps (maps, bookings, chats)
- Trip information is scattered and hard to access in context
- Existing tools lack real-time awareness of user state (location, time, journey stage)
- Planning and in-trip experience are disconnected
My Role
- End-to-end product design (0→1 MVP)
- UX architecture & flow definition
- Interaction design (AI + real-time systems)
- Visual direction & adaptive UI system
Impact
- Reduction in steps to access trip information
- Faster access to key travel actions
- Less cognitive load through adaptive UI system
- Unified 5+ tools into 1 interface
Key Experience Areas
Designing a context-aware AI travel assistant for seamless, real-time journeys
Core Product Loop
Core Flows
1. Onboarding: Capture travel intent
2. Home: Command Center
3. AI Interaction: Natural language queries
4. Trip Tracking: Live journey updates
5. People / Coordination: Share trip details
- Plan trips through simple inputs or AI prompts
- Track journeys in real time (flights, routes, timing)
- Assist via voice/text AI interaction
- Adjust dynamically based on context
Core Flows
1. Onboarding: Capture travel intent
- Collect preferences & upcoming trips
- Prepare AI context from day one
2. Home: Command Center
- Quick actions (plan, ask, navigate)
- Contextual cards (time, location, next step)
3. AI Interaction: Natural language queries
- Real-time travel assistance
- Context-aware responses
4. Trip Tracking: Live journey updates
- Timeline-based UI
- Status, gates, timing, delays
5. People / Coordination: Share trip details
- Coordinate with others
- Track group travel
Outcome
Atlas demonstrates how AI + context-aware design can transform travel from fragmented and reactive into a continuous, intelligent experience.
