AquaAccess

People trying to find clean water, public restrooms, and sanitation facilities nearby had no easy way to know where those facilities are, or if they're even safe or clean.

The team interviewed 5 users around the core question of how people currently find water points and restrooms, then design and iterated based on users needs and pain points.

The Figma file was the actual class deliverable, a design-only project scoped around research, wireframes, and a hi-fi prototype. Turning it into a real, working app was never part of the assignment; that was done afterward, as a showcase of what I can build beyond the design phase. The app is a working single-page site built from the Figma specs, with a real map, filters, ratings, and live Mapillary street photos per location, built by Claude Code.

Because it was a self-driven showcase rather than a course requirement, the scope was set by what would best demonstrate real shipping ability: a live, data-backed, deployed product built using public data I had available, such as place locations, accessibility, open hours, and street view photos. But goals like live cleanliness and safety levels couldn't be built the same way, since there was no public data source for them. That data can only exist if users provide it themselves. Community reporting was never built, since it needs persistent storage and moderation that a static site doesn't have. As a result, the ratings and reviews that are shown are static mock data rather than something users can actually submit.
