Design Process

An iterative, user-focused approach starting with research, followed by prototyping, testing, and refining based on real developer and auditor feedback.

1

Research & Discovery

We began by exploring similar tools in the ecosystem to understand what works and what doesn’t, since our direction was unique.

2

Early Sketches & Low-Fidelity Designsn

I created early concepts and low-fidelity designs that captured the core idea and shared them with the team for quick feedback and alignment.

3

Beta Phase with Early Users

We opened access to a few early adopters and closely observed how they used the product. Their feedback helped us spot gaps and usability friction we hadn’t seen before.

4

Iterative Improvements

Based on real usage and feedback, we refined the interface, adjusted features, and improved clarity—focusing on what users needed the most.

Market Potential

Blockchain smart-contract security is a small market but growing rapidly: valued at $180.53 million in 2023 and forecast to reach $839.37 million by 2030, with a 24.55% CAGR. Additionally, $2.1 billion was lost to hacks in 2024, underscoring the demand for faster and more affordable protection.

User Interviews

User research revealed the need for faster scans, clearer guidance, and trusted automation—insights that directly shaped our product decisions. Here are some key insights that we gained.

Developers want instant checks before shipping code—waiting days slows them down.

Users need to understand why something is risky and how to fix it, clearly and quickly.

Teams prefer a single, shared dashboard to collaborate and resolve issues faster.

Continuous scanning is more useful than one-off audits—issues can appear anytime.

Automation should simplify workflows—not flood users with unnecessary noise.

Solution & Vision

We addressed blockers in mainstream smart contract security and make AI-assisted tooling reliable, friendly, and integrable.

Wireframes

I created low-fidelity wireframes to establish a functional, user-friendly layout before moving to high-fidelity design.

Browser extension

The Chrome extension brings this functionality directly to platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok—making influencer research seamless and accessible.

Influencer Discovery

The discovery tool offers advanced filters to help brands find ideal influencers across platforms, view their stats, and save them to lists.

Creator Lists

Users can compile influencer lists for easy access and send bulk email sequences to selected groups.

Relationship Management

The outreach management system simplifies creator tracking—both manual and automated—throughout the entire engagement process.

Emails Campaigns

Email drips let users automate outreach with customizable templates, personalization, scheduling, and campaign analytics.

Campaign Performance

Campaign tracking features provide real-time insights into influencer performance, enabling data-driven decisions and content monitoring.

Dashboard

We built a dashboard that acts as a central hub, giving users a clear overview of their creator network and store KPIs.

Influencer Profile

This page lets users view detailed creator profiles, including performance metrics and past interactions.

User Testing

Testing with real users helped us identify friction points and make data-driven improvements, significantly enhancing the product’s usability and impact.

Iterations and New Features

User testing played a crucial role—we gathered real feedback, iterated on key features, and added new ones like third-party integrations and an affiliate application system for brands.

Design Handoff

As the designer, I prepared detailed handoff notes to ensure smooth developer collaboration and clear implementation of the design intent. Here’s an example:
