Swerv Safety UX Enhancement

Swerv is a location-based platform that prioritizes user safety through various mechanisms. However, users often find it challenging to understand these safety features and how they operate behind the scenes. The goal of this project is to design an intuitive user experience that effectively communicates Swerv's safety features to users. The project will explore the optimal timing and method for presenting this information, such as whether it should be introduced during the sign-up process or after onboarding. Additionally, the project will evaluate different formats for delivering this information, such as videos, animations, or guided tutorials. By enhancing the user experience, Swerv aims to ensure that users feel informed and secure while using the platform.
