TravelCal

Problem

International business travelers with busy calendar schedules often find it difficult to manage time zones in different cities, and to know when meetings are actually scheduled.

Overview

The main objective was to create a mobile app to:

• Suggest meeting times
• Account for changing time zones, for both displaying and scheduling
• Proactively work to make sure users are always on time for meetings

Approach

Personas

I developed our main persona, Valentina, to help build empathy and focus the app’s design direction.

Remote Worker – Wants better meeting quality when working with global colleagues and remotely from home

IT Director – Wants to manage software releases, determine ROI from analytics

Design & Features

• Time Zone Management: A robust system to display current city and device location.
• Proactive Notification: Daily briefings and "New Location Detected" alerts.
• Apple Watch Integration: To accommodate the on-the-go lifestyle.
