Ride hailing app for Nigerian students

Ride hailing app for Nigerian students
DormDrive was born out of a simple need: helping students and campus residents move around easily, safely, and affordably. In many university communities, transportation is often chaotic, expensive, or unreliable. DormDrive set out to change that by creating a ride-hailing solution tailored specifically for campus life — with features that support both riders and student drivers. The goal was to design a seamless, intuitive experience for users who may not be very tech-savvy, while also keeping things fun, reliable, and local.

So, what did i do to tackle these issues? I rolled up my sleeves and got to work on designing solutions to put user first. I created an app that was not only easy to use but also safe and efficient. I introduced user-centric solutions that aimed to revolutionized the ride-hailing experience and make DormDrive the go-to choice for students on the move (big grammar for simply making ride-hailing apps better).

We listened to our users and discovered some frustrating issues with ride-hailing apps (some of which are outlined below). After gathering feedback, I pinpointed 4 key problems that were in the way of a great experience.

Launching DormDrive proved just how powerful intentional design can be in solving everyday problems. After rolling out the MVP across three major campuses, we recorded over 2,500 completed rides within the first two months. Driver onboarding increased by 60% after simplifying the registration flow, and overall app engagement improved by 45% following UX enhancements. More importantly, feedback showed that 8 out of 10 users found the app "easy to use" despite little to no prior experience with ride-hailing platforms. This project emphasized the value of designing for inclusivity, and how human-centered thinking can truly shape better experiences — even in the most local of markets
