Story
Product Overview
ParkSight is an inclusive theme park companion app designed to support guests with sensory sensitivities. It combines real-time sensory alerts, a customizable profile, calming tools, and a quiet-zone map to help visitors plan, navigate, and enjoy their park experience with confidence.
Platform: Mobile app (iOS & Android)
Key Value: Reduces sensory overload by giving guests personalized information and on-demand calming resources
Problem Statement
Theme park guests often struggle with navigating the park, managing wait times, and finding experiences that match their sensory and accessibility needs. Existing apps provide limited guidance and personalization, leaving many users feeling overwhelmed and unable to fully enjoy their visit.
Goal
Design a mobile companion that provides personalized itineraries, sensory alerts, quiet zones, and in-the-moment coping strategies.
Design Process
The design process began by uncovering the challenges guests face in navigating the park and managing sensory overload. From user research to ideation and prototyping, each step focused on creating solutions that are intuitive, accessible, and personalized. Through testing and iteration, the app evolved into a tool that helps every visitor enjoy the park with confidence and ease.
Design Timeline
Key Research Insights
Guests struggle with unexpected sensory triggers and crowded areas.
Planning ahead is difficult due to limited accessibility and ride info.
Existing apps provide maps and wait times but no real-time sensory alerts.
Competitive Analysis

This review highlighted gaps in navigation, personalization, and sensory-friendly features, giving me clear opportunities to differentiate ParkSight and better serve its users.
