Discovering Seychelles: Your local business and service guide at your fingertips
Seysearch is like your local guidebook but in a digital form. It helps you find all sorts of businesses and services in Seychelles, from restaurants to repair shops. 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.
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.
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.

Testing with beta users
This project is currently in the beta phase, meaning we’re testing it out to make sure it works well before releasing it to everyone. Throughout this process, we’ve learned a lot about what users need and how to make our platform better for them. We’ve also discovered the importance of collaboration and flexibility in adapting to user feedback. As we continue to refine and improve our product, we’re excited to see how it positively impacts the Seychelles community.
