Bestmile - Designing Autonomous Mobility

Led end-to-end product design for an autonomous mobility platform, shaping the ecosystem across dashboard, Traveler, Driver, and Attendant apps while building early design foundations in a startup environment.

Year :

2019-2021

Industry :

Transport

Client :

Bestmile

Project Duration :

2 years and half

Context

Bestmile was a Swiss deep-tech startup building a fleet orchestration platform for autonomous vehicles and on-demand mobility services. The company was gaining strong visibility in Europe and internationally for its vision of connected, autonomous transportation.

I joined Bestmile as the sole UX/UI designer, at a critical growth phase, where product, engineering, sales, and marketing needed a unified experience across multiple applications to support pilots, clients, and future scale.

The product ecosystem included:

  • Fleet Orchestration Dashboard

  • Traveler App

  • Driver App

  • Attendant App

All evolving in parallel within a fast-moving startup environment.

Problem

No existing design foundation or system across products

  • Multiple apps evolving independently

  • Complex technical domain (autonomous mobility + fleet operations)

  • Strong pressure from sales and pilots to deliver usable products fast

  • Need to align product UX with marketing positioning and customer demos

As the only designer, the challenge was to bring structure, coherence, and usability while supporting rapid product iteration.

My Role

Sole UX/UI Designer

I owned the entire design scope, working closely with:

  • CEO (product vision & roadmap alignment)

  • Engineering (UX feasibility & implementation)

  • Sales (customer needs, demos, feedback loops)

  • Marketing (product storytelling and positioning)

I was responsible for:

  • End-to-end UX across all applications

  • UX architecture and user flows

  • Interface design

  • Early design system foundations with Jean-Baptiste Cochery and Manuel Hitz

  • UX guidelines for consistency

  • Product storytelling support for go-to-market

Methodology and Outcomes

Product ecosystem design

I designed the full experience stack:

  • Fleet orchestration dashboard for operators

  • Traveler journeys for passengers

  • Driver and attendant workflows for field operations

Ensuring consistency across roles while adapting UX to each user context.

Close cross-functional collaboration

Working daily with engineers, I translated complex backend logic into clear operational interfaces.
With the Co-founder Raphaël Gindrat, and Anne Mellano, I helped shape product narratives, demos, and visuals used for client presentations and partnerships.

Design system foundations

Together with engineering, I initiated Bestmile’s first design system using InVision Design System Manager, establishing:

  • Core components

  • UI patterns

  • Interaction guidelines

This created alignment between design and development and accelerated delivery.

Startup mindset

Operating in a lean environment, I balanced:

  • Speed vs quality

  • Product discovery vs delivery

  • Long-term UX vision vs short-term pilot needs

while maintaining usability standards in a highly technical domain.
