Turning a fragmented gifting experience into an instant one

The Shift

From multi-step, confusing flows
To instant, frictionless gifting


What I Did

RoleProduct Designer
TypeClient Work
Output44 Screens + Branding + UX Flows
Timeline2 Months

Redesigned the entire product experience — not just screens, but how gifting works.


The Problem

In the existing product:

  • Branding and visual identity lacked consistency
  • Systems (Coins, Plus) felt disconnected
  • Slow, interruptive experience
  • Too many steps to purchase
  • Hard to find gift cards

A “quick gift” didn’t feel quick.


The Breakthrough

I didn’t just redesign screens — I redesigned the system.

I led a complete redesign of the platform — covering UI, UX flows, branding, and system consistency.


3 Decisions That Changed Everything

1. Search > Browsing

Users don’t explore — they know what they want.
Search became the primary action.


2. Merge the System

Gifzi Plus + Coins were fragmented.
I unified them into one seamless layer inside checkout.


3. Faster Decisions

The original flow slowed users down with a single path (Add to Cart).

I introduced:

  • Buy Now for instant purchase
  • Related products for quick discovery

Reducing friction at the moment of decision.


Designed for Speed

  • Mobile-first interactions
  • Thumb-friendly navigation
  • App-like experience on web

Built to Scale

Instead of isolated screens, I created a system:

  • Reusable components
  • Consistent patterns
  • Extended from Nuxt UI

Impact

  • Reduced friction across key flows
  • Faster purchase experience
  • Clear, scalable design foundation

Delivered 44 screens across all platforms.

This is just the surface.

The real value lies in:

  • Iterations
  • Trade-offs
  • UX decisions

Happy to walk through the full process.
