In the Airbnb Jam, teams were challenged to design a mobile app that "empower families and groups of friends who travel together a collaborative way to document, organize, and share their travel experiences and stays to the larger Airbnb community." Besides, Airbnb encouraged students to add in fun and creative features and make the app a way to support the main lodging function of the company.
Each team (2-3 persons) need to submit an Adobe Xd file with no less than 20 screens in 2 days.
This was the first time I attended Adobe Creative Jam and do a complete UX prototype. Our team consisted of two first year undergraduate international students from UCSD. The my teammate Hannah has some experience in UX design before, so she would mainly in charge of visual design (on Figma, she had some tech issues opening Xd.)
We ended up successfully submitted the work and received a 12-month Adobe subscription but did not get any award.
Whether you are a grandmother wanted to record each trip memory, a backpacker willing to share about your stories staying at another countries, or a freshman planning to take a trip far away right after the pandemic, On air is where you can create, share, read stories. The goal is to enable trust again by encouraging people to share their experience during travel and especially at an Airbnb stay. On the other hand, you can also take a look at how people talked about their travel and stay experience beforehand. To enable full engagement of members across ages, we make sure texts and buttons are as readable and understandable as possible.
