Pilot Adventures · Aviation · Mobile App 👤 Founding Product Designer

Led product design from day one, taking Pilot Life from concept to launch, and beyond.

Overview

Pilot Life is like Strava for pilots — tracking flights and turning aviation experiences into stories worth sharing.

Challenge

Pilots were too busy to remember flight tracking. The app needed a way to log flights automatically, without breaking their flow.

Insights

Pilots installed the app at home, but forgot to activate tracking at the hangar. In-flight, their focus was on safety — not tapping.

Calls

Build habits, simplify choices, nudge actions, and reveal complexity when users are ready.

❇️ Solution

Designed an auto-tracking feature that fit naturally into pilots' routines with minimal effort. Clear onboarding and smart nudges kept pilots engaged and active in the community.

⏩ Outcome

76% Auto-Tracking Adoption +49% User Retention
- Automation is key - Nudge, don’t push
