There are currently 8.4 million senior citizens who depend on others for their transportation. I designed an app to provide an affordable and accessible process for the elderly to mobilize themselves in activities related to their wellbeing.
The network shows how elders can request for help and compensate students for their assistance. Students are able to accept tasks and track their progress in volunteer hours.
I contacted Sound Generations — the primary organization within King County that provides older adults to and from appointments and errands using volunteers. I soon realized that mobility did not simply mean the ability to move around from place to place. Instead, mobility meant completing tasks to fulfill their livelihood: meet appointments, buy groceries, and visiting friends and family.
The integration of the system requires collaboration between the education and transportation departments within King County. After discussing with experts across these fields, the implementation of the project includes promotion of the program, a validation process to screen and verify volunteers, and the fulfillment process. Given the time constraints of the project, my designs focuses on the last step.
To appeal to the younger audiences and make each graphic unique, I selected a wide variety of flat colors. I was keen on having more blue-tones to emphasize the Mini-Circuits’ blue that current customers already love.

The final designs represent nine different parts that came out in Summer 2019. My hope was for anyone riding in the subway to become immediately invested with the graphics from each of the circuit’s colors.
