About the Project

In a bid to enhance features that directly improve user experience and business outcomes, my team and I embarked on a UX redesign journey to enhance the buyer-seller interaction, account management process by admins, and overall user experience of the marketplace platform.

Through extensive user research, product design, user testing and feedback analysis, we revamped the platform's interface for buyers and sellers, optimizing account management, product discovery and checkout processes.

The outcome was a 30% increase in transactions and a 20% rise in user retention, solidifying the platform's position as a preferred destination for online commerce.
