RISDiculous Parking
Interactive digital map for students parking on RISD's campus
October 2025
Collaborators: Max Gavalchin, Jeff Chen
Synopsis
This interactive program seeks to help students and families find parking spots on RISD's dense and confusing Providence campus. Parking in Providence without some sort of permit is torture, so I made this tool alongside two other designers to help fellow RISD drivers navigate this automobile hell.
The program uses maps of downtown Providence to create a clickable parking map with charismatic notes and color coded systems to explain which spots are safe to park in.
