Shopmates: A Social Shopping App

💡"Refining Shopmates: Learning from Real Users"

The past few weeks have been all about self-evaluation, note-taking, and user interviews to improve Shopmates. Now, it’s time to test with real users—my peers—to see how well it actually works in the real world.
At first, I thought the app was easy to navigate and helped users get things done quickly. But after gathering feedback, I realized there were some challenges that needed attention:
📌  Confusing Naming – Some feature names weren’t clear, leading users to overlook key functions.
📌  Lack of Signifiers – Without proper cues, users had to guess what to do next.
📌  UI Visibility Issues – Just having a feature isn’t enough; it needs to stand out at the right time.
📌  Limited Flexibility – Users felt forced into specific choices instead of having natural options.

Now, it’s time to fine-tune the experience:
✅ Simplify Labels – Clear, easy-to-understand names help users know exactly what they’re doing.
✅ Better Guidance – Small hints and signifiers make navigating smoother.
✅ Stronger Visibility – Highlighting features without overdoing it ensures they don’t go unnoticed.
✅ More Flexibility – Giving users more control makes the experience feel natural and effortless.

A huge thank you to my mentors Anudeep Ayyagari (UX Anudeep) and GrowthSchool for their support in this process! 🙌

🚀 Wrapping Up Shopmate – A UX Journey
For the past few weeks, I’ve been deep into designing ShopMate—a social shopping experience that brings the fun of shopping with friends right into your favorite fashion app. It’s been a journey filled with endless iterations, late-night tweaks, and so many thoughtful design decisions. and I couldn’t be more excited to share it! 🎥✨

🎯 Key Learnings
🔸 Real-time collaboration is key – Shopping is inherently social, and designing for seamless interactions made all the difference.
🔸 User insights drive better design – Through interviews and usability testing, each iteration refined the experience, making features more intuitive and valuable.
🔸 Balancing fun and functionality – While making shopping enjoyable, I had to ensure that every feature added real value without unnecessary complexity.

✨ "Designing for Both Users & Business: Striking the Right Balance" ✨ 
As designers, we’re often laser-focused on user needs—making things intuitive, seamless, and enjoyable. But great UX isn’t just about users; it’s also about driving business impact.

A well-designed experience should:
✅ Solve real user problems—making interactions smooth, efficient, and delightful.
✅ Support business goals—whether it’s increasing conversions, boosting engagement, or improving retention.
The key is finding harmony between the two. If we focus only on users, we might create delightful experiences that don’t move the needle for the business. On the other hand, prioritizing business goals without user value can lead to frustrating experiences.

Here’s how I ensure both sides are covered in my design process:
🔹 User-first thinking – Understand pain points and motivations to design meaningful solutions.
🔹 Business alignment – Define key metrics and make design choices that drive results.
🔹 Continuous validation – Test with users and iterate based on real feedback.
At the end of the day, happy users = a thriving business. The best products create a win-win for both!

Would love to hear your thoughts—how do you balance user needs and business goals in your work? 👇

A huge thank you to my mentors Anudeep Ayyagari (UX Anudeep) and GrowthSchool for their guidance and insights throughout this journey! Your support has helped me see the bigger picture—designing not just for users but for business impact as well.

🚀 Excited to Share My Latest UX Case Study! 🚀
Introducing 'Cabby' — a compact, movable cabinet designed to keep all your cleaning supplies and personal care products easily accessible in one place.💡
Through user interviews, multiple iterations, and feedback, I fine-tuned every detail to solve real-world challenges faced in small bathroom spaces.

🧠This project taught me the importance of empathy in design and how focusing on micro-level details can help better understand user journeys and drive key decisions.
