Reguards aims to help women feel safer from sexual violence in urban public areas. It is a b2c app that lets women's friends and family track them on their way and call our guards to come and help them. Many adult women feel unsafe and anxious when commuting alone in cities. But they need to feel safe.

Project: Mini Challenge 2 Project at Apple Developer Academy Cohort 5

To increase their feeling of being safe by letting them know that their friends and family know their position, and if things get bad, they can rely on the call centre and guardian to come and save them.

We tested the design and received 100 for Screen Usability Score (SCUS) for reaching the call centre flow and 82 for Screen Usability Score (SCUS) for starting to commute flow. In qualitative usability testing, all six testers achieved 100% task success for a start commuting flow.

Young adult women who mainly use public transportation to mobilize around the city.

I worked as the only designer here, with Heri as the project manager and Ricky, Rafi, and Fauzi as the coders.

Through my sociological background, I lead the research and design process through user interviews and usability testing. This was an interesting project because of its topic regarding sexual violence in urban areas. However, I was the only woman and designer in the team. Hence, I had to advocate for gender issues throughout the whole process.

This project taught me the importance of considering other stakeholders, as one feature required resources beyond our project's scope.
