Find a viable space
Availability and restrictions need to be understood before the driver commits to a street or lot.

Picking
A mobile parking service that connects the moments before, during, and after parking—so drivers can find a viable space, plan the trip, stay ahead of time limits, and manage payment without switching tools.
One parking journey · One service
Park with
a plan.
Picking turns uncertainty into a sequence: check availability, compare a route, arrive, pay, and receive the reminder before the parking window closes.
FIND · PLAN · PARK · MANAGE
01 · The Friction
Parking is not one task—it is a chain of uncertain decisions
The existing journey begins before the car stops and continues long after. Drivers search without reliable availability, circle crowded areas, move between meters and payment apps, remember local limits, and later try to find the vehicle again.
Competitor review showed a split experience: some services focus on payment and renewal, while others expose availability for operators. The opportunity was to connect real-time guidance with the driver's complete journey.
Reduce circling
Less searching means less stress, less wasted time, and fewer unnecessary steps.
Remember the limit
Timed spaces create a second task: knowing when to return, extend, or move the car.
Bring the car back
Payment, vehicle records, and the parked location should remain available in one place.
02 · User Journey
Design for the whole day, not only the payment moment
The primary persona is a student who drives into a crowded area and frequently loses time searching near school. Her need is not simply “show parking”; she needs a plan that fits several destinations and tells her when the plan has to change.
Add destinations
Build a multi-stop trip and compare parking options around each location.
Choose a space
Review availability and navigate toward the selected parking area.
Track the clock
Save the parking limit and receive a warning before overtime.
Keep it together
Handle payment, saved plans, bound vehicles, and the parked location.

ROUTE PLANNING
Plan ride
Add several destinations, search each location, select parking options, and save the complete route for later.

TIME & PAYMENT
Stay ahead
A live parking card keeps the remaining time, fee, location, and vehicle visible. Notifications turn the time limit into an active safety net.

VEHICLE MANAGEMENT
Return with context
Drivers can keep vehicle information, active parking, previous plans, and account details together instead of reconstructing the trip from separate apps.

04 · Interface System
A map-first UI with one unmistakable blue
The interface uses blue as both brand color and primary action signal. White cards separate trip, billing, and vehicle information from the map, while restrained status colors keep availability and urgency readable.

05 · Design Outcome
The value is continuity
Before parking
Availability and route planning reduce the number of blind decisions before arrival.
While parked
The active card keeps location, time, payment, and the next required action visible.
After the stop
Saved plans and vehicle context make repeated trips easier to reconstruct.
System direction
The concept is strongest when live availability and local restriction data are trustworthy enough to support the plan.
