It serves as a powerful content creation platform that empowers businesses to enhance their online presence, engage with their audience, and drive growth.
My Role
I had the opportunity to drive the visual and content strategy and was instrumental in bringing together a diverse team of professionals to deliver results. I partnered with more designers, the motion/video content team, the product team, the product manager, the marketing manager, the director of e-commerce merchandising, the content writer, UX researcher and lastly the development team. While overseeing the project as a whole, I also made significant individual contributions, such as concept development and design direction. I ensured a smooth handoff to the development team.

Design & Content Strategy
The intention is to show the user why they should sign up for studio. Explain the product with clear demo videos. Introduce clear steps on how to start, what they get from it and how easy it is to use. Explain why they should choose us. Inspire them with moments of delights and interactions. Create a clear path, clear visual hierarchy, and sub-nav.

The link-in-bio creator helps customers launch and grow their brand by creating one beautifully designed link-in-bio page for all their sites and social media profiles in minutes.

Here's a peek into the before and after of the logo maker page. We utilized the new multi feature condensed design system that got adopted by a lot of pages and seems to be performing well.
