TRAVO made it possible to instantly plan end-to-end trip around events and give you only the best search results based on your pre-set profile preferences on one single planning platform.

Their small team based in LA, (10-15 employees) consisted of project management, development, marketing and user researchers, and they already had a list of what difficulties their users have when using the product.

My first task was to find other areas on the platform that I think needs improvement from a user experience standpoint. I was the only visual and experience designer in the team, and my process mostly looked like this:

Evolution

Thanks to their hard work and valuable design feedbacks made on daily video-chats, as we were improving on small details of the product and made everything consistent, in 3 months we reached to a point where the basic structure and layout completely changed compared to the original, and a new information architecture made it possible to solve problems and implement new features in a much easier way.

In the middle of 2016 TRAVO has grown to an enterprise platform used by administrative professionals who plan trips for someone else. 

This change brought lots of new things to think about. The goal of the business, the target audience, their demographics, actions, needs, goals were all changed. There was also a big new feature: purchasing on-site.

The new goal was to make trip planning for someone else as easy as possible, while increasing the number of bookings made on the platform. 

The next two years was about converting the product to a more enterprise like platform, I designed many new features and changes to the user interface and experience: email designs for booking confirmations, receipts, travel policies, org manager, Expensify integration, etc.)
