LumSavari
A research-driven mobile prototype for safe, campus-based ride-sharing, designed for an HCI Expo.
What we built
and why.
LumSavari is a research-driven mobile prototype for safe, campus-based ride-sharing, built for an HCI Expo. The work centered on trust and usability - verified profiles, schedule-based matching, and a safety-first interface - delivered as a polished, interactive Figma prototype.
The problem
to solve.
Context
Ride-Sharing · UX Research : Campus ride-sharing lives or dies on trust and safety, so the brief was to design - and validate - an experience students and staff would actually feel safe using.
Core Problem
The prototype needed to make verification seamless, surface safety cues clearly, and keep interactions consistent - all proven through user research before any build.
How we
built it.
A research-first design process: user interviews and empathy mapping, low- to high-fidelity Figma wireframes, and a trust-centric UI system, culminating in an interactive prototype for the HCI Expo.
Research
Conducted user interviews and empathy mapping to ground the design in real behavior.
Wireframes
Designed low- to high-fidelity wireframes in Figma.
Trust System
Created a trust-centric UI system with clear safety indicators.
Prototype & Expo
Built ride scheduling and feedback flows into an interactive prototype for the Expo.
What got
shipped.
A high-fidelity, interactive Figma prototype structured around verified profiles, flexible scheduling, and a clean ride overview - designed to communicate trust and usability at a glance.
Key Innovations
- Driver verification via university-ID validation
- Schedule-based ride matching to reduce wait times
- Safety-first interface with panic options and clear hierarchy
- Built-in ride feedback and rating for accountability
Obstacles Overcome
- Creating a seamless verification process
- Maintaining visual balance with dense data
- Ensuring safety and trust through visuals
- Designing flexible yet consistent interactions
What it
does.
4 core capabilities that define the product. Each engineered with a senior team, tested against real usage, and shipped to production.
Driver Verification via University ID
Verification logic via institutional ID so only authorized users get access.
Schedule-Based Ride Matching
Matches rides by schedule overlap to cut wait times.
Safety-First Interface
Clear safety indicators, panic options, and a quick-action visual hierarchy.
Ride Feedback & Rating
Feedback and ratings to maintain trust and accountability.
The product,
end to end.
11screens from the shipped build. Every flow, every state. These aren’t renders, they’re production.
The impact,
measured.
Proved out a safe, usable campus ride-sharing concept through research and design - de-risking the experience before a line of production code.
Built with.
LumSavari shows the value of designing for trust first: validate the experience with users, then build with confidence.
