Overview

I designed a promotional app concept for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) aimed at helping users explore Boston’s best affordable date spots — all easily accessible via the city’s subway system. Featuring original illustrations and starring the MBTA’s beloved mascot, Charlie, along with Charlene — a new character I created specifically for this project — the app offers a playful, welcoming guide for couples visiting Boston or locals seeking a fun night out without the hassle of parking or gas costs.

The app highlights twelve handpicked date destinations around the city, providing in-depth info, suggestions, and everything users need to confidently navigate Boston’s public transit. From easy-to-follow directions and station details to live train and bus times, the experience is designed to make planning the perfect MBTA-powered date night both simple and delightful.
