My Lil’ Hiking Buddy is an app crafted for children, encouraging
both kids and families to explore nearby trails.
User Journey 
Sketching
My goal was to provide a platform for kids to create their own hiking buddy. This personalized companion becomes a delightful partner that children would want to choose to accompany them on their trail adventures.

Onboarding 
Customization instills a sense of ownership, making the buddy feel uniquely theirs, and motivates kids to get out into nature.

Personalization
Based on what buddy is selected during onboarding, the icon in the navigation changes to match. This helps make the app feel more personalized.
Creating a section where kids could further customize and dress up their hiking buddy created a reward system to encourage kids to go outside more to unlock clothing and different decorations for their buddy.
