Phase 2 : Define

User Flows & UX Strategy

Followed by persona study, we began to design for simplicity, trust, and conversion across key journeys by mapping & optimizing user flows.

Designed flows for both users to reduce friction on both sides

Validated flows through internal testing and team feedback cycles

Applied empathy-led microcopies to address potential drop-offs

Used statuses & minimal UI layers to keep experiences lightweight

Wireframes & Validation

We created low to mid fidelity wireframes to validate content hierarchy, UX clarity, and flows before moving into visual design. we tested them internally & iterated to ensure the efficiency.

Each step shows only the next action needed, preventing overwhelm.

Focusing on functionality over aesthetics to advocate for user needs.

Phase 4 : Deliver

UX Documentation

Since the design process was highly iterative and fast paced, we decided to revisit all our page after completing phase 1 of design span, and documented all our variables and tokens
