N3ZEN · Founder & Product Designer

Feel the holiday.
Before you go.

I founded N3ZEN to help people get ready for their trips. The app turns bookings into a preparation plan tailored to where you’re going and who’s coming, pets included. It helps you see what to check before you leave, from visas and travel vaccinations to the paperwork for bringing your pet.

Start with the work people do after they book.

A booking confirmation tells you what you bought. It leaves you to figure out what to do next and keep track of the details across emails, PDFs and apps. I founded N3ZEN B.V. to help travellers turn those scattered details into a plan for getting ready.

I reviewed existing trip planners and worked through real-world confirmation formats to understand where people would otherwise have to copy details by hand. That gave me two problems to design for: getting a trip into the app and helping people see what needs their attention before departure.

AI-assisted import

Turn a confirmation into a draft people can check.

A hotel email and a multi-leg flight confirmation describe very different things. I designed a common review flow so both can become useful trip details. AI helps interpret the source and propose structured information. The interface lets travellers check key details, correct them or skip a booking before adding it.

I tested cases where an error would change the trip, such as a connecting flight crossing time zones, a confirmation that updates an existing booking, or a receipt that looks like a reservation. Those cases shaped what the review screen asks people to check before anything is added to their plan.

Make the plan useful before departure and on the road.

I carried the same design into the itinerary, map and packing views. The itinerary gives the day a sequence, the map helps travellers see how stops fit together, and packing puts practical tasks in reach before departure.

I took N3ZEN from the idea and company setup through product research, interaction design, prototyping and development. I also built the launch site so people could understand the product and register their interest ahead of release.

What I’m testing next

With real travellers, I want to see whether they can import a booking, spot and correct an error, and find the next thing they need to do before leaving.

The iOS app is in development. I’m preparing early user testing and working toward a public App Store release.
