Dash Out
Design Sprint
Balancing academics, social life, and daily errands can be overwhelming for students, often leading to stress and burnout. Dash Out was created to address this challenge by providing a seamless, time-saving solution for everyday tasks. This app enables students to request help with errands like grabbing coffee, shopping, or collecting parcels, allowing them to focus on what matters most.
Designed specifically for the fast-paced lifestyle of NTU students, Dash Out combines vibrant visual elements with a clean, intuitive interface to ensure an effortless user experience. Through user research, prototyping, and testing, the app was crafted to enhance productivity and reduce the mental load of managing countless responsibilities.
Brief:
Design, prototype, and test a digital service to benefit students at Nottingham Trent University (NTU). The service should prioritize user needs, tangible benefits, and a seamless design and user experience.
Concept:
To address the fast-paced lifestyle of students, I developed Dash Out, an app designed to simplify everyday tasks. The app enables students to request help with errands like grabbing coffee, shopping, or collecting parcels, helping them manage their time effectively and avoid burnout.
Solution:
The name Dash Out reflects the urgency and energy of student life. The app’s visual identity balances vibrancy and functionality, with a bold primary typeface conveying speed and dynamism, complemented by a neutral secondary typeface for clarity. The design process included extensive user research, wireframing, and prototyping, followed by testing to ensure a user-friendly and efficient experience. This project demonstrates how thoughtful design can address real-life challenges while enhancing the daily lives of NTU students.
