Overview
Designing DXB Inclusive Maps was both inspiring and demanding. The main challenge was creating a calm and supportive experience that avoided overstimulation while still guiding autistic travelers through complex airport processes. I simplified journeys into clear steps, tested colors and flows for accessibility, and refined interactions through research and iteration to make the experience intuitive and reassuring.

Problem
What happens when they try to seek help?
When asking their live support for help the response...

And if you don’t use their live support, the only other way to find help…
…is buried inside a long PDF
Not exactly quick or easy when you’re already navigating a busy airport.
Opprtunity

What is it?
An empathy led, autism friendly application, that guides autistic travellers from home to gate with calm, personalized, low stimulus navigation.

This is what travel anxiety looks like to them:
