Why we're excited
AI-Powered Learning: Crafting Engaging & Intuitive Book Experiences
Working on BeFreed was a powerful reminder of why we love design, solving real problems with intuitive, AI-driven solutions. The challenge was clear: readers and learners often struggle to absorb dense books efficiently, losing valuable insights in the process. We set out to change that.Our goal was to bring clarity and structure to the platform, making it more intuitive for users to engage with. Through deep user research, iterative prototyping, and cross-team collaboration, we built two new features (mind map, swipe card) and improved the Transit page and PDP (Product Detail Page) to enhance usability and engagement. We focused on refining the user journey—ensuring that from the moment someone landed on the platform, they understood exactly how BeFreed could help them.What made it even more exciting? Since BeFreed was in its early startup stage, we had the unique opportunity to shape its direction. Every week, we saw the platform evolve, implementing changes, testing improvements, and refining the experience. Helping transform a promising but ambiguous product into something clearer and more impactful in just 10 weeks was an incredibly rewarding experience.
