The Challenge:
Planning trips can be frustrating, especially in a busy tourist city like New York. How might we create a product that helps people, especially first-time tourists, plan their trips to NYC museums more efficiently in their tight schedules?
My Observation:
There are lots of tour planning applications for NYC tourists. Yet, many of them have complicated interfaces and cheesy features, which increase the users' frustration and make the product hard to navigate.
The Solution:
Let's design a Lean UX MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that focuses on the most powerful draws of NYC - museums, to help people plan their museum trips in minutes by providing the most necessary filters and a simple interface.
Key Tools:
Figma, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, MindNode
