Background
Since 2020, anti-Asian hate crimes have increased 339% nationwide. Many of these crimes were perpetrated by strangers while the victims were walking alone in large cities.
The Ask
Design a NY-based service that keeps vunerable people on-foot safe.
Problem
Most services currently available are reactionary, not preventative - meaning they only help users during or after an attack, rather than reducing the likelihood of attack to begin with.
