Whether you’re a tourist looking for the best spots or a local seeking specific services, Seysearch makes it easy to explore and discover what’s around you.

The challenge

Navigating Seychelles' local businesses is a challenge; Seysearch simplifies the proces

In Seychelles, finding local businesses or services can be a hassle. You might not know where to look, and the information you find might not always be accurate or up-to-date. This can make it difficult to connect with the right businesses or get the services you need when you need them.

Roles & responsibilities

Collaborative efforts + my role in research, design, and testing

In the Seysearch project, my role encompassed designing both the mobile and web platforms over a collaborative period of three months. This involved conducting extensive user research and product testing to understand customer needs, mapping customer journeys to identify pain points and opportunities, and fostering growth in our B2B partnerships. Additionally, I collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to ensure exceptional user experiences and leveraged my UI skills to produce wireframes, product concepts, and high-fidelity prototypes.
