Mobile consumer app

Orcapod

The platform helps facilitate carpooling as a social and financially economic choice. For those who see each other at the same type of events, even out of town, this app has the potential to bring their communities closer together.

Project context

Discovered need from existing hobby

I discovered this need through my experiences carpooling with dancers going to the same weekend events. Event goers often look for drivers within their network, alternatively resorting to ride share apps to get to their events out of town.

This prototype was created as a concept prior to initial research. Shown are the splash page, ride setup, and user home.

Users

Drivers and passengers

Among all participants I interviewed, these archetypes were leaning more towards leveraging ride sharing tools for budget and flexibility purposes.

People you’re riding with can make or break the commute

Keeping a low budget is the main reason to ride share

Flexibility is important for working around my schedule

Roadmap pivoting

This project is still in its early discover phases, and will be further iterated upon once an updated roadmap has been made to accommodate for my latest interview insights. I look forward to reporting in on my progress here!
