Projects

2024
Refreshed Student's Home at Edvoy

The company had a very basic and outdated user profile page, which is a crucial part of the service. Students use this page to upload documents and add personal details

We received a lot of feedback from students saying that the page is not user-friendly, and it’s often difficult to understand what the next step in their journey is.

As a Staff Product Designer and Individual Contributor, I led the project to refresh the Student profile page. The goal was not only to enhance its visual appeal but also to synchronize it with the feature set of the mobile app and the feature set of our CRM.

We analyzed user feedback and conducted a series of experiments. We developed a new information architecture, created dozens of low-fidelity prototypes, and gathered extensive feedback from stakeholders and users worldwide
