Giftpals, United States
Conceptualizing the interaction design and experience for a website facilitating gifting and affiliate marketing. As a generalist, I was responsible for creating a visually appealing yet clear design to guide users in finding and purchasing the perfect gift while also offering them opportunities for revenue generation in this field. Proper process design resulted in reducing errors during usability testing to less than 10%. By prototyping this concept on Figma and closely collaborating with the development team, I helped accelerate and enhance the implementation process. https://giftpals.com/
Motoproz, United Kingdom
This was the first milestone of a large project aimed at designing a platform for buying and selling pre-owned cars, which was launched as an MVP in the form of a website. Simplifying processes for all user types while maintaining a visually appealing interface and adhering to legal limitations and guidelines added to the complexity of the project. However, the final product successfully met all the parameters and requirements set by the client. https://motorproz.co.uk/
Houmify, United States
In this project, the goal was to solve users’ problems in finding a real estate agent through a digital solution. The platform allowed them to create a competitive marketplace while providing an easy way to connect with property owners. One of the challenges was that, due to the client's requirement, property listings were not included as a feature. Additionally, some parts of the platform were already comprehensively designed, so the new design had to be aligned with the existing structure. By redesigning certain processes and improving existing user flows, I created a prototype that accounted for backend and database requirements, ensuring minimal issues during the frontend redevelopment. https://houmify.com/
