Kickstands Up

Motorcycle Group Riding & Event Creation Mobile App

Mobile Application | End-to-End Design + Product Management
Project Overview
North Star
Created by riders for riders, Kickstands Up facilitates finding bikers near you in real time, create or sponsor events and review/find roads based on ride style, bike type and destination!
My Role
As the Co-Founder, I was the UX Researcher, UI Designer, JIRA Administrator and Project Manager. I worked hand-in-hand with the development co-founder to get Kickstands Up running.

Our North Star

As riders ourselves, we wanted to find riders to ride with. Our solution was to create a native android application for riders to find riders in real time!

Events

While actively designing and holding a full-time job, I also led the JIRA administration and project/feature requirements gathering and roadmap deadlines to get us up and running!

Running the Product Management

Safety First

We wanted to make sure you could ride with anyone if you wanted, but we also knew the dangers that come with sharing your live location, especially for female riders riding solo.

Adding Visuals

Visualizing Your Health Journey

Originally the app didn't contain any visuals to help the user see their habits or trends. We added visuals throughout the new application as we worked on crafting a system that helps users understand health accounts and how to maximize their use.

Reinforcing Positive Habits

HSA Account adoption was rising nationally year over year by about 13% on average in 2015. But I found we were seeing a drop-off in use or deposits to HSA accounts.

Previously, using our system had caused taxing anxiety, so I worked in a way to provide positive reinforcement through our visuals campaign through color palette (adding an uplifting green-yellow) and positive copy to help curb that anxiety.

Setting Up Continued Success

I found that our B2B customers were aggravated that setting up automatic deposits had been hidden in a settings page because confused users were inundating their support centers.

I devised a solution to place a very clear CTA within any page, and we opted to add a feature switch to allow turning the feature on or off per page, per B2C customer.
