Projects
Cabin: booking, reimagined
A concept redesign of long-stay booking, framed as a case study on reducing decision fatigue. Progressive filters reveal options as intent narrows, replacing the wall of choices that stalls most stay searches.
The study walks through research synthesis, a reworked information architecture, and a clickable prototype tested with eight participants.
