UX/UI Design Portfolio

CraftShip

I assumed the dual role of UX Researcher and Designer, for a personal endeavor, crafting innovative design solutions that not only addressed user pain points but also aligned seamlessly with common overarching business objectives.

Creative Problem-Solving

Users Need More Visibility on their orders

I began determining essential features for problem resolution.

A central location in the app to find everything they need related to their orders including:

  • Real-time Tracking: Enable users to track their orders in real-time, providing updates on the current status and location of their package.
  • Notifications: Implement push notifications to alert users about important updates regarding their orders, such as when an order has been shipped, out for delivery, or delivered.
  • Implemented cross-sells and upsells at the bottom to boost AOV (Average Order Value).

Comprehensive Order Summary that includes:

  • Details of past orders, including order status, tracking information, and purchase history, allowing for easy reference and reordering.
  • Implemented cross-sells and upsells at the bottom to boost AOV (Average Order Value).

Adding the option to buy again for the whole order and also specific items from the order summary.

  • Creating a personalized buying experience based on what the customer already liked and purchased.
  • Increasing the CLV (Customer Lifetime Value) by encouraging purchases with ease.
  • Implemented cross-sells and upsells at the bottom to boost AOV (Average Order Value).

Adding the option to review the item from your Order Summary.

  • Crafting a tailored experience that empowers customers to easily share with others.
  • Boosting the AOV (Average Order Value) by leveraging social proof to encourage new customers to purchase products they may not have considered otherwise.

Conceptualizing Ideas

Utilizing Lo-Fi Paper Wireframes to swiftly generate multiple concepts for discussion, analyzing their potential problem-solving capabilities to determine the most suitable option. Subsequently, transitioning to Figma to develop Low-Fi Digital Wireframes, primed for rapid prototyping.

Orders Screen

Offering a dashboard-like experience that provides users with easy access to snapshots of all key request.

Synthesizing Results

Low-Fidelity Prototype

Moderated Study with five Participants

Insights
  • Rename link to Order History.
  • Add Order Summary navigation under My Account.
  • Include Order Summary and Leave a Review in Menu navigation.
  • Consider converting Order History into a button like Buy Again.
High-Fidelity Prototype

Un-moderated Study with five Participants

Insights
  • Increase size of  touch target on menu items.
  • Modify Buy Again section to display products from specific orders first.

Design Iterations

Digital Wireframes were adjusted based on usability study insights, then reviewed before creating high-fidelity mockups. These mockups were incorporated into the high-fidelity prototype for the second round of testing.

What's Next For Craftship

I am eager to revisit the Craftship app design in the future to enhance the UI further. I recognize opportunities for refinement, particularly in the color schemes, white space and visual heirachy, which I aim to address.

Final Thoughts

I enjoyed employing my entrepreneurial mindset to tackle this project with a focus on incorporating common business objectives. Additionally, it was very fulfilling to harness my creativity to craft iterative design solutions, effectively addressing user needs while strategically aligning with business goals.
