Though definitive metrics weren't available due to my departure, the impact was undeniable.

Crafting erena's navigation and experience wasn't about speed, but intention. We took a meticulous approach, prioritizing process and purpose over rushing out the door. This focus ensured a user-centric design built for long-term success.

The erena redesign demanded a user-centric approach. In-depth interviews yielded pain points, further validated by a heuristic evaluation. Leveraging this empathy map, we tackled the navigation's information architecture first. Rough wireframes of the sitemap were tested with tree-testing, guiding the restructuring of the navigation and dashboard. Armed with this quantitative data, I meticulously crafted the navigation, prototyping each component before culminating in high-fidelity mockups. Confident with our research findings, we presented our recommendations to leadership, securing buy-in and paving the way for the building phase.

Imagine – a platform where finding events is a breeze, navigation flows seamlessly, and the thrill of competition is just a click away. That's the power of design, and it's just the beginning for eFuse erena!

Forget the frustration – this was about intuitive discovery. Imagine, players could now seamlessly access any feature they desired, with a clear information hierarchy guiding their way. Whether searching for specific games, events, or key functionalities, finding their next thrilling matchup became a breeze.

But the journey didn't stop there. We embraced an iterative development approach, meaning collaboration was king. From feature kickoffs to sprints, releases, and testing, we constantly incorporated player feedback. This continuous cycle of refinement ensured the experience kept evolving, getting better with each step, all thanks to the invaluable input from the very players who brought it to life.
