## **Redesign Concept**

### **Background**

Our strategy involves pivoting towards the sector focused on **fostering serious relationships** by integrating two services. This necessitated rebranding and the development of innovative feature concepts to achieve differentiation.

We recognized significant disparities in both the visual design and user experience of our product. Consequently, our foremost focus has been on amplifying the user experience to not only increase our conversion rate but also fulfill the user's ultimate goal - **finding the perfect match.**

### **My Role**

As a Design Director, my responsibilities included:

**Brand Development:**

* **Workshop:** Leading workshops to gather input and align the team's perspectives on the vision and mission during the early stages.

* **Value Definition:** Categorizing Functional and Emotional Values from Qualitative Researc

* **Design Concept:** Formulating design concepts and strategies.

```

**Product Design:**

* **Research:** Analyzing Current UI Challenges through Team Heuristic Evaluation

* **IA:** Exploring New Information Architecture for Facilitating Meaningful Connections

* **UI:** Translating Design Concepts into a Fresh UI

Through collaborative efforts with PMs and copywriter, I played a pivotal role in shaping the direction of projects and ensuring their successful execution.

### **Outcome - New UX/UI**

I crafted design concepts that outlined our intended direction.

* **Contents of Match Profiles:** Evolving from Objective Criteria(ex: salary) to Emphasis on Personality Traits(ex: videos, lifestyles and values)

* **UX for Match Profile Exploration:** Progressing from List-Comparison Format to Individual-Centric Approach

* **Better Visual design**

## **Project ①: QQ PINYIN PC V5.1**

### **Introduction**

The design of the old PC version of QQ PINYIN has become outdated, failing to convey the brand image effectively. Our goal is to enhance it while preserving the "classic," "simple," and "focus on type" qualities that users appreciate.

### **Goal**

Revamp the brand image, enhance sensory experience, and improve typing efficiency through design updates.

### **Challenges**

* **Design Style:** Outdated elements like the default status bar and input box need a fresh look to align with modern aesthetics.

* **Visual Consistency:** Inconsistencies, such as the secondary menu and right-click menu, not matching the default Windows style.

* **New Onboarding flow:** Lack of a setup wizard for new users.

```

## **Project 2: QQ PINYIN for Android V 5.3.0 |  Personalization**

### **Introduction**

This update primarily emphasizes visual personalization. We've employed features like the "**keyboard store**," "**custom wallpaper keyboard**," and "**custom color keyboard**" to allow users to personalize without disrupting the original design style.

### **Purpose**

Address the challenge of enabling users to find or create their preferred skins while maintaining a seamless user experience and consistent design style.

### **Custom Color Keyboard**

**Design execution strategy**

How can we ensure the user-selected color matches the system's color scheme?

1. Utilize user-defined reverse color settings effectively.

2. Adjust brightness or transparency as needed.

3. Extend color adaptation to the option pane beyond just the keyboard.
