Safety context that travels with the team

A mobile and Apple Watch concept I designed for helping field employees understand local risk, locate opted-in colleagues, and coordinate during fast-changing emergencies.

In-house studio project. Created independently by the Experience+ studio on an unpaid basis — not a commissioned client engagement.

Conceptual portfolio work

These are static design explorations, not an operational safety, emergency, healthcare, navigation, or public-health product. No real-time data, emergency reliability, accessibility conformance, privacy compliance, or user-research outcome is claimed. All people, conversations, statistics, and targets are illustrative.

Community

Project overview

One safety model, two levels of attention

The design explores a difficult enterprise tension: employees need timely, location-specific context, while employers must avoid turning duty of care into surveillance. Mobile provides the complete operating picture. Watch reduces that picture to a glance, a warning, or one immediate action.

Try it yourself

Walk through the working prototype

I rebuilt the phone and watch designs as a real React/TypeScript app — built end to end, not handed off — so you can trigger the risk warning, run the evacuation flow, and drive the watch app screen by screen. Same conceptual disclaimer applies.

Mobile experience

From ambient awareness to coordinated evacuation

The phone experience moves through five levels of engagement: scan local conditions, understand a warning, inspect the underlying evidence, control visible layers, and coordinate an evacuation. Select any composition to inspect it full size.

Regional and neighborhood heat maps translate layered risk data into a single location-aware view.

Risk language

Urgency increases without changing the interaction model

A four-level system connects index ranges to tone, hierarchy, and action. Color is a redundant signal alongside explicit labels, numeric values, icons, and instructions.

Evacuation and emergency coordination

Apple Watch companion

Glance, decide, then drill down

The Watch carries the same information architecture into a smaller context: local status, high-risk warnings, opted-in colleague profiles, nearby business capacity, inventory, navigation, and arrival confirmation.

Cross-device principles

Useful only when it is trustworthy

Progressive disclosure

The phone carries maps, evidence, controls, and coordination. The Watch starts with the one fact needed now, then supports crown-driven detail.

Context-aware hierarchy

Color, language, and available actions change together as risk rises; urgency is never communicated by color alone.

Privacy before visibility

Location and status are opt-in, audience-specific, and reversible. Sharing is treated as a temporary safety action, not a default.

Evidence with provenance

Every statistic needs its source, freshness, geography, and graceful failure state before it can support a safety decision.

System concept

Freshness, failure, and consent are product states

The proposed data flow combines government feeds, commercial services, and user-generated updates. Before implementation, every source would need documented refresh intervals, jurisdiction, confidence, caching behavior, moderation, and a visible unavailable state.

Variable refresh rates

Show timestamps and source provenance; never imply that daily data is live.

Network failure

Explore cached maps and fallback messaging without promising offline emergency coverage.

Location sensitivity

Use explicit, granular, temporary sharing controls with a clear audience.

Small-screen complexity

Prioritize risk status and the next safe action; move evidence into deliberate drill-down.

Proposed validation

Targets, not measured outcomes

The supplied HEART metrics are reframed here as a future research plan. No pilot, NPS result, retention rate, task-success result, or production usage is represented.

MeasureConcept targetWhat it would test

Alert response85% open within five minutesMeasures whether critical communication reaches employees

The design thesis

Comprehensive on the phone, decisive on the wrist

Community demonstrates a coherent cross-device safety language: layered context when there is time to investigate, and a single legible status when there is not. Its most important future work would be validating trust, failure comprehension, accessibility, and employee consent before validating feature appeal.
