Description
Farechase is Yahoo! Travel’s flight, hotel and car rental meta-search engine. The primary goal of this redesign was to make the interface more consumer-friendly by adding personalization, improving the live search by making it more clear that Farechase was searching across the web for results, and making the booking transition more understandable.

My Role
As the lead designer on this project, I came up with several concepts to address the goals of the redesign, created Flash prototypes for user testing, and finalized the interaction and visual design of the interface.

Skills Used
Concept Design, Interaction Design, Visual Design, Flash Prototyping, User Research
