TripeMa Logo

TripeMa | Porduct Designer

Jan 2018 - Jul 2019 | Tehran, Iran

TripeMa was first known as Narengi, an online marketplace for lodging and homestays. In the midst of brand rebranding and redesign, it was my responsibility to ensure the product offered the best experience. As I work on a brand new design for TripeMa, I've been trying to come up with a design system that will make everything feel consistent across platforms. During the development process, A/B tests, user interviews, and usability tests were conducted. Originally part of Alibaba Travels Co., it was later merged into Jabama, which unfortunately brought an end to TripeMa. TripeMa will always hold a special place in my heart.

  • A redesign of the TripeMa App resulted in more than 100 bookings per month

  • An evaluation of the application's usability (Usability Test) was conducted and improvements were made
