🚀 Reimagining Craigslist: Turning Legacy UX into a Trust-First, AI-Powered Marketplace [Independent Case Study]

Most local marketplaces lose millions in revenue due to one core issue: User Distrust and Fragmented Interface. For this independent product design case study, I took Craigslist's massive legacy framework and completely re-engineered it into a premium, high-converting B2C interface.

🎯 The Business & Design Problem: Traditional local classifieds feel unsafe, cluttered, and slow. Users abandon platforms because they cannot verify buyers or filter out spam efficiently.

💡 The Conversion-Focused Solution: Using strategic product thinking in Figma and Lovable, I structured a clean, modern design system built around three core pillars:

AI-Driven Smart Search: Reducing user friction by replacing text filtering with conversational, contextual search queries.

Trust-First Safety Architecture: Integrated clean, transparent verification metrics into the core user profiles to eliminate fraud vectors.

Scalable Information Hierarchy: Clean typography grids and card patterns optimized for lightning-fast scanning and high engagement rates.

🐾 Recent Work | Brand Guide for Tails & Co.

Recently completed a brand guide for Tails & Co., creating a clear and cohesive visual foundation for the brand.

The goal was to bring all the important brand elements together into one practical guide — from logo usage and typography to colors, visual direction, and overall brand consistency. The result is a system that makes it easier to maintain a recognizable and professional identity across digital, print, and future marketing materials.

I focused on keeping the guide both visually polished and easy to use, so anyone working with the brand can understand how to represent it consistently.
