Description
As a daily Chicago CTA rider, I wanted to track my own transit data accurately, but nothing existed to do it. So I built Transit Stats, the first app designed to turn public transit rides into meaningful personal analytics. From concept to App Store launch in three months, I designed the brand, all the UI/UX, and website while writing the backend code alongside a front-end developer.
Transit Stats automatically tracks every CTA ride in real-time, showing riders their distance, CO₂ savings, spending, and progress on city-wide leaderboards. The app has grown to 1000+ users while having a 4.7-star rating and continues to grow Chicago's community of transit riders who want to see the impact of their daily commutes.
My Role
Product Designer
Brand Designer
Art Director
Tools
Figma
Illustrator
Design Process
The app design evolved from early sketches to two rounds of wireframes before reaching the final polished UI. This progression shows the refinement and thinking that shaped Transit Stats from concept to launch-ready product.
App Feature Highlights
I designed and executed every core feature that makes Transit Stats unique. Auto live tracking captures rides in real-time with smart GPS detection. In-depth stats show riders their total distance, CO₂ savings, and transit spending over time. City-wide leaderboards let users compete with other Chicago riders, while the achievement system celebrates transit milestones. Ride history and coverage maps give users a complete view of their transit journey across the entire CTA network.
App Website
I designed the entire marketing site to complement the app experience and drive downloads. The site clearly explains Transit Stats' key features through clean visuals and concise messaging, making it easy for potential users to understand the value before downloading. The design maintains the brand's visual identity while focusing on converting visitors into active users.
Transit Stats Brand
I created the complete brand identity from the ground up, including the logo, color palette, typography, and visual system. The brand direction aimed for a modern and energetic feel that resonates with the transit enthusiast user-base. The identity works cohesively across the app, website, and App Store presence, creating a recognizable and engaging experience for users.
