Project Summary

Currently, only a piece of paper is proof of testing negative or being fully vaccinated. There is no universally accepted verification method that lives virtually, securely, and always accessible.

By  designing a safe and secure COVID vaccine passport for safety-conscious users to access and use, we will help ease a lot of anxiety about going out and traveling after the pandemic.

THE DESIGN PROCESS 

I collaborated with two other team members, Cyndei McKinney and Amy Shin, to complete this project. 

As more and more people are becoming vaccinated and life slowly returns to normal, many people are still wary about traveling or attending events. During our research, many interviewees voiced their concerns about COVID protocols and accessibility of information since the COVID guidelines and practices seemed to differ from country to country, state to state, and even city to city. They were also worried about providing proof of vaccination to attend events or enter businesses, especially since the COVID vaccination record card is just a piece of paper that could be easily lost or damaged. 
We worked together on the user research, definition, ideation, and testing. I was elected to create the UI style guide and design the visuals and the high fidelity prototype. Having previous coding experience, I was also charged with our app's front-end development using HTML/CSS.
