Case studies

Empowering novice users and driving revenue growth

143% uplift to usability score.
30% increase in customer interaction.

The Details page and its 40+ variants significantly contribute to company revenue. Novice customers felt unsupported and confused while navigating the page. After thorough research and co-design workshops, I redesigned the page, raising the System Usability Score from 50 to 85 and greatly enhancing the user experience.

Safety and privacy concerns for customer communication

Defined product mission and vision.

Customers were overwhelmed with conversations and safety concerns. Research and workshops introduced pre-filled prompts, privacy controls, and scheduling tools beyond messaging. This resulted in feature prioritisation, a roadmap, and descoped functionalities.

Boosting confidence for high-value online purchases

Increase in enquiry volume and in-store consultations

The client, a jeweller, had zero engagement ring sales after six months online. Testing revealed customers lacked confidence in purchasing high-value items without expert support. We recommended shifting to lead generation, implementing user-friendly language and enhanced support to increase engagement and conversions.
