About the Project
This project is centred around the design challenge of optimising the hiking experience in the province of Antwerp through collaborative efforts with various stakeholders such as municipalities.
To address this challenge, we have developed a digital platform that serves as a centralised hub for collaboration between the Province of Antwerp and the municipalities. This platform facilitates cohesive planning, enhances communication, streamlines processes and provides a repository of information.
My role and responsibilities
While we all contributed to the service design process on this project, my role as a visual and UI/UX designer was crucial in bringing our ideas to life. Collaborating with my teammates (an environmental Designer, and product designer), I designed wireframes, user flows, mockups, and UI elements of the platform, ensuring a cohesive and user-friendly experience.

Process
An immersive hiking experience in the Zilvermeer in Mol, together with desk research, allowed us to gain valuable insights into various hiking user experiences, laying a solid foundation for our research phase. We then received project briefings that guided us, as well as hosting a co-creation session. During this session, we gathered insights from real-world individuals, including municipalities. The team worked through multiple solutions, discussed them with TPA and successfully narrowed them down to one. We then proceeded to meticulously develop the chosen solution. This iterative and collaborative process ensured that our final solution is not only rooted in real-world experiences but also aligns closely with the needs and expectations of TPA.
