Project Overview
Eve's App is a two-sided mobile marketplace that connects traveling yoga instructors with yoga studios that have open scheduling slots to fill.
It uses location-based discovery and a streamlined request/booking flow to eliminate the friction currently experienced on both sides of this scheduling problem.
Vision:
Eve's Class exists so that instructors and studios can support one another by filling in scheduling gaps.
Goal:
Allows instructors to declare availability by city and time block (morning, afternoon, evening) for a specified date range.
Allows studios to post open class slots with details including yoga style needed, pay rate, class duration, and timing.
My role:
UX designer leading the Suplan mobile application design.
Responsibilities:
conducting research,
storyboarding,
paper and digital wireframing,
usability studies,
iterating on designs,
making high-fidelity prototype
All about the user :
User Research
I conducted user interviews with a service team members and managers to identify common challenges in managing service requests, such as task prioritization and response delays. Insights gathered helped shape features aimed at improving efficiency, communication, and reporting capabilities within the app.
Pain Points
For Instructors
Yoga instructors who travel to new cities face a binary choice: stop teaching while away, or conduct manual, time-consuming outreach through Instagram DMs or cold phone calls to studios they have no prior relationship with.
This process is inefficient, unreliable, and professionally awkward. Many instructors simply forgo teaching.
For Studios
Yoga studios with open scheduling slots are constrained by their existing instructor network. When a regular instructor is unavailable and no known substitute exists, slots go unfilled — representing lost revenue, disappointed students, and a gap in programming.
There is no scalable, structured way for a studio to reach qualified instructors outside their immediate network.
Solution
A mobile marketplace that:
Allows instructors to declare availability by city and time block (morning, afternoon, evening) for a specified date range.
Allows studios to post open class slots with details including yoga style needed, pay rate, class duration, and timing.
Surfaces relevant matches through location-based discovery feeds — instructors see studios in cities they're traveling to (or are based in); studios see instructors who are available in their city.
Enables both sides to initiate contact, exchange messages, and confirm bookings entirely within the app.
The project schematically :
Starting the Design
This idea started as a joke between our group of friends, some of whom are yoga instructors. We then realized over the course of a month the amount of times this silly idea would have been a life saver for studios in need of a last-minute instructor and how it would be nice to earn some extra money while on vacation doing the thing we love to do.
User Journey Map
Our goal was to envision the complete journey for both instructors and studios and how the system would facilitate that communication with the least amount of friction possible. With the initial MVP we wanted to only include situations that would allow users to access the application's main functionality.
The Vibe
They initially oriented on the basic structure of the homepage and highlight the intended function of each element.
We wanted to make this application original but there is a delicate balance between standing out and not fitting in int he app world. We studied dozens of other health and wellness applications and found that the aesthetic of neutrals and serif fonts communicates to users the "feeling" of wellness.
Usability Studies
We created a comprehensive usability study guide in the hopes of answering 5 questions we believe are essential to the applications success:
Can instructors complete onboarding and set availability without hand-holding?
Can studios complete onboarding and post an open slot without hand-holding?
Do both sides understand the discovery feed and know how to act on what they see?
Is the request and booking flow frictionless from initiation to confirmation?
Do both sides understand the cancellation policy and no-show system before experiencing them?
The clear version :
Refining Design
The V2 list in our PRD already captures most of the improvements we hope to make. — the main design judgment call is sequencing:
trust features (verification, ratings) and payment enforcement should be prioritized over convenience features (SSO, dual accounts) because they directly affect whether the marketplace feels safe enough to transact on.
All of these are goals we are working towards after we determine if the application is useable beyond our small test case.
High-fidelity designs
The project schematically :
Outcome
Currently we are testing the applications functionality on a larger scale with several local Atlanta yoga studios. We hope to find points of friction and understand how this could potentially help users within this community solve an issue we believe doesn't have to be an issue.
Takeways
Impact:
We believe this application that just started as funny idea between a group of friends who love to travel could potentially fill a need, as mundane as it may seem. As niche as a pain point as it may have seemed to us initially could potentially help a wider audience.
What I learned:
Working with a tools as powerful as AI platforms like Claude has made me realize even with access to the all of the answers you still need to ask the right questions. You don't know what you don't know and in order to figure that out it still requires a bit of mental elbow grease.
Next Steps
Identify any additional areas of need and ideate on new features.
We are currently working on ways to extend the platform beyond yoga to other forms wellness.
