The challenge:

The goal was to seamlessly blend AI capabilities with human creativity, creating a platform that not only collects ideas but also enhances and interconnects them for innovative outcomes. The challenge was to design a fluid interface that allows users to easily capture and expand their ideas.

The approach:

• 01. Understanding the User Journey
  We identified our users as professionals and teams seeking efficient brainstorming tools. They needed a platform to capture and develop ideas collaboratively. Understanding their workflow and pain points was crucial to designing a solution that fits seamlessly into their creative processes.


• 02. Defining Desired Outcomes
  We aimed for users to feel empowered and inspired, achieving a seamless transition from idea generation to actionable plans. Success meant users could intuitively use the platform to enhance their creativity without technological barriers.


• 03. Prioritizing Key Features
  Given the high importance of the brainstorming experience, we focused on features that significantly impact user engagement and satisfaction, such as real-time idea capturing and dynamic interconnections.


• 04. Assessing Scope and Resources
  As the solo designer, I prioritized features that offered the most value with available resources, ensuring a balance between innovation and feasibility.


• 05. Validating Design Changes
  Each design iteration was tested to ensure it improved upon existing functionalities, using user feedback and A/B testing to guide decisions


• 06. Simplifying the Experience
  Unnecessary elements were removed to streamline the user experience, focusing on core functionalities that directly contribute to effective brainstorming.


• 07. Challenging Constraints
  By questioning existing limitations, we explored innovative design solutions that might have been overlooked, ensuring the platform remained adaptable and forward-thinking.

The solution:

User-Centric Design
