UX Exploration · 2024
Mapbox is a leading provider of custom mapping and location technology, powering navigation and geospatial experiences for companies worldwide. Its platform enables developers and designers to create tailored maps and mobility solutions across industries.
At Mapbox, Emanuele led a UX exploration focused on rethinking navigation for pedestrian use. The work involved analyzing existing frameworks, mapping behaviors, and identifying gaps between vehicular navigation patterns and the unique needs of people on foot. His role was to design a navigation tool concept that prioritized safety, clarity, and contextual awareness for urban pedestrians.
The exercise resulted in a framework that highlighted opportunities to expand Mapbox's navigation capabilities beyond drivers and vehicles. By proposing design principles and prototypes for pedestrian-first navigation, I laid the groundwork for potential new use cases and client integrations. The outcome positioned Mapbox to better serve partners in industries like mobility, tourism, and smart cities.
