User Research
To understand the pain points and needs of marketing teams, we conducted user research through interviews and surveys.

Additionally, we identified the importance of seamless collaboration, as marketing teams often work in cross-functional environments.
Design Iterations
- Information Architecture: Based on user research insights, I worked on optimizing the information architecture of the WaddiAI platform. I conducted card sorting exercises and created user flow diagrams to ensure a logical and intuitive structure. The goal was to make it easy for users to navigate between the different functionalities seamlessly.
- Wireframing and Prototyping: Using the insights gathered, I created low-fidelity wireframes to define the layout, structure, and interactions of the various features within WaddiAI. These wireframes were iteratively refined based on user feedback and usability testing. Once the wireframes were finalized, interactive prototypes were developed to simulate the user experience and validate the design decisions.
- Visual Design: Collaborating with the visual design team, I ensured that the visual elements of WaddiAI aligned with the brand's identity while maintaining a clean and intuitive interface. Consistent use of color, typography, and visual hierarchy was employed to enhance usability and provide a delightful user experience.
- Usability Testing: Throughout the design process, usability testing sessions were conducted to gather feedback from target users. This allowed us to identify pain points, discover areas of improvement, and validate the effectiveness of the design solutions implemented. Iterations were made based on the insights gained from these sessions.
Key Features and Deliverables
