Project Title: Withjara - UX Design for E-Commerce and Vendor Dashboard
Project Overview
When I got the call to work on Withjara, a budding e-commerce platform, the mission was clear: create an experience that works not just for the customers shopping for products, but also for the vendors managing and selling them. The client had big ideas for simplifying online shopping and streamlining vendor operations, and that’s where my UX design expertise came in.
Working alongside the client, we kicked off the project with a series of user research sessions, diving deep into the pain points faced by customers and vendors. We understood that the key to success would be creating a seamless user experience that bridged the gap between the two sides of the platform. This research laid the foundation for everything that followed.
My Role
As the lead UX designer for the project, I took on full responsibility for crafting both the customer-facing mobile app and the vendor dashboard. Every design decision was made with one goal: to provide an intuitive, easy-to-use experience that enhances efficiency for vendors and improves the shopping experience for customers.
Design Process
Research Collaboration:
We started by conducting joint user research, gathering feedback from real users, vendors, and stakeholders. This allowed us to understand the specific needs and frustrations of both groups.
For customers, we learned that the shopping experience needed to be fast, intuitive, and stress-free. This meant easy navigation, clear product images, and a streamlined checkout process.
For vendors, the challenge was creating a dashboard that was both powerful and simple to use. It had to be easy to manage products, track orders, and monitor sales without feeling overwhelming.
2. User Flows & Wireframes:
With the research insights in hand, I began mapping out user flows to visualize the journey of both customers and vendors. For the customer flow, I prioritized simplicity, ensuring they could quickly browse, add items to their cart, and check out without friction. For vendors, I mapped out how they would manage products, view orders, and track earnings.

3. High-Fidelity Designs & Prototyping:
Once the wireframes were validated, I moved on to creating high-fidelity designs that reflected Withjara’s brand identity. I designed the mobile app to be responsive, with smooth transitions and vibrant visuals to make shopping enjoyable. The vendor dashboard was designed with clean interfaces and easy-to-read data to ensure vendors could manage their business efficiently.
4. Usability Testing:
To ensure both the app and the dashboard met user expectations, we tested the designs with real users. Feedback was gathered, and refinements were made to simplify navigation, reduce cognitive load, and improve usability. The result was a highly responsive mobile app and an intuitive vendor dashboard, both with a focus on user-centered design.
