Pathmate
Campus Way-finding App
For my senior capstone project, I created Pathmate, a navigation assistant app aimed at improving how students, particularly freshmen and visitors, navigate their college campus and engage with its offerings.

Project Goal
Pathmate tackles common challenges in finding classrooms and other locations by providing seamless indoor navigation, while also serving as a real-time communication tool that updates users on campus events, sports scores, and restaurant wait times. Through extensive user research, I designed a user-friendly interface and a cohesive brand identity, developing a proof-of-concept prototype that highlights the app's potential.
This project not only allowed me to apply UX/UI design principles to solve real-world problems but also showcased my passion for using design to enhance everyday experiences.
Design Approach
My design approach for Pathmate was rooted in creating a seamless, accessible, and engaging user experience. For Typography, I selected SF Pro to maintain a sleek, contemporary feel across the interface, ensuring all navigation and information were clear and easy to read. The Color Palette is defined by a distinctive primary set—Persian Blue, Scarlet, and Jonquil—which adds a bright, energetic, and recognizable brand identity to the app, making key elements stand out. Throughout the interface, I used custom Components like the search bar, buttons, and notification panels, which employ clean lines and a clear hierarchy to provide intuitive interaction. The User-Centered Layout was structured to deliver real-time communication and seamless indoor navigation, maximizing accessibility for students and visitors to find classrooms and engage with campus offerings effortlessly.
