      <image:title>Seaside Furniture</image:title>
      <image:caption>The initial user flow of Seaside Furniture shows a quick route to user failure/site abandonment. The user can typically make their way to the browse page, and is met with the option to “request information,” but is not able to see any pricing information, reviews, or an add to cart function. This leads the user to abandon the website.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Seaside Furniture</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sketching an updated user flow aided me in starting the design process. I wanted to understand how I could help the user complete the checkout process with as much information and as little distraction as possible.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Seaside Furniture</image:title>
      <image:caption>I looked to competitors and my user research to design around the problem: how can we help users feel confident about shopping on Seaside’s website?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Seaside Furniture</image:title>
      <image:caption>I looked at some features on competitor websites, like a virtual design chat service, which initially seemed useful and innovative. However, I realized the research wasn’t showing me that would add value to the Seaside experience, so I moved on to other solutions. At the core, I know I needed to include clear pricing, product reviews, and multiple product photos.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Easelly</image:title>
      <image:caption>Drawing from the platform’s existing design system, I made Easelly’s signature blue more prominient throughout the animation tool. I also introduced a vibrant “PRO” blue to differentiate tools and images that were solely available on the paid account, thereby increasing transparency with users and creating visual interest. My teammate incorporated new iconography based on competitive analysis, to help users feel familiar with the platform.</image:caption>
