CHALLENGES

Spatial Mapping Limits

Shipboard communication involves multiple workflows, from managing crew contacts to responding to emergencies. The challenge was reducing friction while keeping critical information and actions easy to access.

RESEARCH & INSIGHTS

Usability in Motion

We mapped key crew journeys across contact management and emergency communication, identifying friction points and edge cases to make critical interactions faster, clearer, and more reliable.
