eJourney: a Swiss travel app, from workshops to hi-fi
My first end-to-end project. I ran the discovery workshops and then owned the flows, wireframes and UI.
Overview
eJourney is a Swiss travel app built by WavePointer. I joined through MoodUp as a UX/UI designer on loan, ran the discovery workshops and worked closely with the founders from user flows to hi-fi. On this project I moved from designing screens to running the whole design process.
The problem
The founders had a clear idea but no product yet. Before anyone opened Figma, we had to agree on what the product needed to do. The client was remote and in another country, so every assumption had to be written down, otherwise it would come back weeks later as rework.
- A founder vision that had not yet been tested against user flows
- A travel app used on the move, often with one hand and little attention
- A remote client in another country, so decisions had to be documented
The solution
I ran the discovery workshops, turned the results into user flows the founders could review and question, and only then moved to wireframes and hi-fi.
- Discovery workshops run directly with the founding team
- User flows agreed before any UI work, which kept the scope stable in hi-fi
- A mobile-first layout designed for use in transit
- One documented handoff, so the developers had everything in one place

Result
The workshops turned a broad founder brief into a clearly scoped product, and the flows from those sessions went straight into development.
- A product scope the founders approved before any UI work
- Flows, wireframes and hi-fi delivered as one consistent handoff
- My first project without a design lead above me
