Projects

2024

RM Employee App is a product Route Mentor developed to help employees manage their commute by allowing them to book and manage their pick and drop.

As no specialized designers were involved in developing this product,

  1. The app's UI was highly outdated

  2. It was too technical and unnecessarily difficult for its users.

  3. One of the app's primary trip-scheduling actions took 21 steps. I helped them reduce it to just 4 steps.

Read the case study to see how my work helped revamp their mobile app.
