I completely updated the design of Ticketify 🎟️
The previous version worked, but there was something important that didn’t feel right: the design didn’t reflect the real value of the application.
Ticketify is not just an app for selling tickets. The product is built around three main pillars:
🔐 Secure purchases
⚡ Instant tickets
🔎 Fast event discovery
And the previous design didn’t communicate that clearly enough.
That’s why I decided to redesign the entire experience, aiming for an interface that feels more intuitive, functional, and trustworthy for anyone who wants to buy tickets or manage events.
Many ticket-selling platforms tend to feel unclear, overloaded, or difficult to use. My goal with this redesign was to differentiate Ticketify through the user experience: allowing users to quickly understand where they are, what they can do, and how to move forward without friction.
An application doesn’t only need to work well behind the scenes. It also needs to visually represent the value of the product.
Design should help build trust, especially when we’re talking about online purchases, digital payments, and event access through tickets.
Some of the features included in Ticketify:
🔐 Authentication and security
• JWT authentication
• OAuth 2.0 with Google
• Email verification
• Password recovery
• Alerts for new logins from a different IP address
🎟️ Features for organizers
• Create, edit, and manage events
• Manage sales and earnings
• Dashboard with key KPIs
• Ticket validation through a QR scanner using the camera
• Manual validation by code
• Event and user profile management
🛒 Features for buyers
• Explore and search events by name, date, category, or price
• Buy tickets through Mercado Pago integration
• View purchased tickets and their status
• Access digital tickets with QR codes
• Manage user profile
• View purchase history and purchase details
📧 Automated emails
• Account verification
• Password recovery
• Purchase confirmation
• New login alerts
⚙️ Technologies used
• MongoDB
• Express.js
• React
• Node.js
• Resend
• JWT
• OAuth 2.0
• Mercado Pago
This redesign reinforced something important for me: user experience is not just about “making it look nice.”
It’s about making the product easier to understand, more trustworthy, and allowing users to complete important actions in a simple way.
In this case, buying a ticket, receiving it instantly, and using it without complications.

we just wrapped a full redesign, including dashboard, entire application, end to end.
they came to us with cluttered layouts, a SaaS aesthetic that felt heavy and outdated. the kind of ui that makes users feel like they're doing work just to navigate it.
we stripped it back completely with adding more modern visual language, minimal layouts, intentional use of whitespace, a design system that actually scales with the product.
what the client said when they saw it: "you all just changed it and made it so minimal, soothing to the eyes and for greater user experience."
if you are looking for a design partner, dm us or book a call. let's talk about what your product could look like.
Introducing Job Board Hub, a full-stack application built with the MERN stack to explore remote job opportunities across different areas such as technology, design, marketing, and more.
The main idea behind the app is to help users find job opportunities and quickly understand whether a position fits their profile.
One of the main features is AI Job Summary, an artificial intelligence integration that generates summaries of long job descriptions. Many job posts often include lengthy text, mixed requirements, and repetitive information, so the goal was to improve the user experience and make reading faster and clearer.
Beyond the visible feature, this project also allowed me to work on important backend decisions:
- AI integration through an AI Gateway
- The possibility to switch or combine models in the future
- Rate limiting to prevent abuse and control token usage
- Streaming responses to improve the perception of speed
- Clean backend architecture within a MERN app
- Organization of remote jobs by categories
The focus was not just to “add AI,” but to integrate it in a more thoughtful way: considering costs, user experience, scalability, and system control.
Job Board Hub is a simple app in concept, but it helped me demonstrate how an AI feature can provide real value when supported by good backend decisions.
I’m very happy with this project because it combines product, backend, and artificial intelligence into a useful and easy-to-understand experience.
