Bio

Creating, collaborating, and communicating. Abbey Hoerchner is a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, pursuing her BFA in Design and Visual Communication and a minor in General Business. She combines her passion for design and typography with innovative thinking and a curiosity to learn. As a motivated and thoughtful designer, she looks to build positive relationships and create memorable experiences.

She enjoys typography, branding, illustration, photography, and poster design. Very familiar with the design process, she understands the constant cycle of research, brainstorming, creating, refining, and presenting. Finding ways to incorporate work and play, her active lifestyle, love for the outdoors, and passion for sport echoes through dynamic and lively design solutions.

When she is not designing, she enjoys playing collegiate soccer, hiking, traveling internationally, and taking photographs. Even though she is a Wisconsin girl born – and – raised, she is excited and open to discovering where in the world design can take her.

Description

Launched in December 2016, Ozzo is an application developed by a young biker. Living in the city and nervous to navigate the bike lanes alone, she developed a platform to discover individuals around her geographical location, who were also hesitant about navigating the roadway.

Looking for someone to share the road with? Ozzo can help. Create an account, verify your identity, and discover individuals around you, so you can pair, connect, and ride. Ozzo allows you to see a user’s profile, assure she is a verified user, and even save her information to invite her along on future rides.

Because your safety is our number one priority, we focus on safe pairing techniques to ensure your ride is with a reliable user, making for a comfortable and enjoyable ride.

Mission

Ozzo focuses on giving bikers confidence in navigating the roadway together. We strive to create a network of friends that will return to Ozzo to bike together again and again.

Vision

Creating biking connections for a safer, more enjoyable ride.
