Add-trip flow: thirteen screens from pick-up point to confirmation on a Dubai map

Overview

The product started as Carlyft, a Dubai carpooling app matching drivers with spare seats to passengers on the same route. Black designed it in Figma across 2024 and 2025 (driver and passenger journeys, sign-in and verification, trips, requests, AED pricing) and in 2026 designed the new identity under the name Rydars.

Approach

Every flow drawn end to end, including error and empty states, so development had nothing to invent. For the rebrand, explorations ran from a road-shaped R to a driver’s cap; the cap with a signal wave became the mark, with an app-icon set in black, blue and white.
