Feature #1

Improving the way our users find products and categories

To enhance user experience and address navigation issues, we redesigned the mobile app's information architecture for navigating categories and selecting products. Key improvements included clearer category labels, a more intuitive navigation flow, optimized visual hierarchy, and responsive skeleton screens. These changes aimed to streamline browsing, making it easier for users to find products, thereby improving usability and satisfaction.

Feature #2

This feature enhancement aimed to address the 70% of users who reported difficulties in finding sizes and filtering products.

we implemented advanced and intuitive filtering options, an enhanced search algorithm for more accurate results, a user-friendly interface, and quick access filters for commonly searched categories.

Dafiti app redesign achieved:


The redesigned Dafiti app now features a minimalist interface that aligns with contemporary e-commerce trends. Key improvements include: Improved Usability: The design minimizes visual clutter, making the purchase process clearer and more enjoyable.

• Increased User Trust: A streamlined interface builds confidence in the app.

• Higher Engagement: The app attracts more users and reduces the time needed to make a purchase.


Lessons Learned

I am very proud of our ability to conduct research, design, and usability testing. I managed this entire project on my own while being a student and working full-time. However, there are always areas for improvement:


  • Collaborative Efforts: Engaging more stakeholders and team members in the process could have provided diverse perspectives and potentially enhanced the final outcome.

  • Extended Testing Period: Allowing more time for usability testing could have uncovered additional insights and further refined the design.

  • Iterative Feedback: Implementing a more iterative feedback loop during the design phase might have addressed user pain points more effectively.

  • Resource Management: Better management of resources and seeking external help could have balanced the workload and improved efficiency.
