Client: GearToCare (G2C)
Role: Lead Product Designer
Timeline: 2.5 months
Platform: Mobile (Android-first MVP)
Team: Founder, 1 PM, 1 Designer (me), 2 engineers
GearToCare is a two-wheeler doorstep service startup helping users skip long service center visits. I was brought in to transition their basic website booking flow into a full-feature mobile app, while improving retention and upselling AMC (Annual Maintenance Contracts).

User Interviews
I led qualitative interviews with 4 user cohorts:
Satisfied customers
Unsatisfied customers
Drop-offs (booked but churned)
First-time riders in our target markets
Key Insights
Transparency is broken: Users felt blind about what’s actually done to their bikes.
Time is pain: Traditional service centers often hold bikes 9–10 hours.
Post-service support is nonexistent: Customers lacked clarity, receipts, and next steps.
No servicing memory: Users didn’t know what parts were changed last or what to watch for.
problem framing
How might we bring transparency, convenience, and credibility to the 2-wheeler servicing experience so users feel in control even when they’re not present?
This framing helped us approach trust as the product — not just an outcome.
design process
1. Health Card System
Inspired by diagnostic reports, I designed a bike health card with 24 checkpoints categorized into:
✅ Green – All good
⚠️ Yellow – Monitor, fix soon
🔴 Red – Immediate action needed
This gave users clear insight into the state of their bike and created natural upsell triggers.
“It’s the first time I knew what actually needed fixing.” — Pilot user
2. Live Servicing Tracker
To reduce trust friction, I introduced a live tracker with status updates, timestamps, and media (photos/videos) uploaded by mechanics. This acted like a food delivery tracker — but for your vehicle.
Users could follow along asynchronously, turning anxiety into assurance.
3. Dynamic Home Page
Instead of a static app, we built a contextual dashboard that updated per user stage:
Booking reminder if a service is scheduled
Quote status if a repair is requested
Health card history and support buttons post-service
This made the app useful beyond just booking.
4. Membership FOMO Flow (AMC Conversion)
To boost AMC memberships, I designed a 10-minute invite-only offer embedded post-service. Mechanics handed a code with benefits explained and a timer began ticking inside the app — exclusive access to discounted AMC for 10 minutes only.
This urgency + exclusivity model (co-created with the marketing team) led to an 11% boost in AMC signups.
5. Upsell Add-Ons
We used context-based suggestions like:
Monsoon? → Brake pad, tyre inspection
Summer? → Engine oil + coolant package
These appeared during checkout based on season and location. Combined with the health card triggers, this increased average order value without overwhelming users.
component library & visual identity
Used a warm blue + yellow color system to signify reliability and energy
Designed for accessibility with WCAG AA contrast and 44px+ touch targets
Built a lean component library in Figma for cards, badges, sliders, and tracker states
Used icons + text for all statuses (to aid colorblind users)
Created modular variants for easy dev handoff and real-world scalability
ux flow iterations
We tested 3 home screen concepts:
Static info page
Tab-based nav
Dynamic dashboard → Winner
A/B tests showed:
18% faster repeat bookings via contextual reminders
Lower drop-offs post-booking due to live service status integration
We iterated weekly with feedback from the founder, mechanics, and customers in parallel.
collaboration & constraints
Developer Syncs: Designed for low bandwidth areas — optimized media compression and asynchronous updates.
Mechanic Flow Mapping: Interviewed 4 mechanics to map what updates they could realistically log.
PM Tradeoffs: Postponed wallet integration in favor of live updates for launch.
Regular Loom updates, async Figma comments, and Notion documentation helped us stay agile and lean.
outcome
+23 in NPS (after launch)
+11% AMC conversions
4.5★ Play Store rating
40% increase in post-service app engagement
Referral rate up via mechanic-triggered code sharing
reflection
This case proved that even low-trust service categories can be reimagined with thoughtful UX and behavioral design.
Key Learnings:
Service design = Trust design
Transparency creates upsell opportunities — if framed with empathy
Mechanics are users too. Designing around their workflows creates better customer experiences.
accessibility & inclusion
Color contrast, touch targets, and copy readability met WCAG AA
Status icons had paired text for colorblind accessibility
Health card used familiar metaphors to ensure readability for low-literacy users

Let’s build something worth bragging about !
