Viggle.ai – Web & Mobile UI/UX Design

Overview

Viggle.ai is an AI-powered creative platform that transforms still images into motion — letting users animate faces, scenes, and characters through the power of storytelling. I was brought in to design the full web and mobile experience, shaping how creators interact with next-generation AI tools in a way that feels intuitive, accessible, and inspiring.
The mission: make complex AI feel magical, not mechanical.

The Challenge

Viggle.ai had a breakthrough technology — but its early interface felt overly technical and intimidating for non-experts. The goal was to bridge AI innovation with human creativity, designing an experience that balances simplicity, depth, and delight.
Key Challenges
Communicate the “wow” of AI motion without overwhelming the user.
Create a clean, professional interface that still feels playful and approachable.
Design a frictionless flow across both web and mobile platforms.
Encourage instant creation, discovery, and sharing.

The Solution

I reimagined Viggle.ai as a creative playground, not just a tool — where users could instantly see results, feel in control, and stay immersed in the joy of creation.
Web Experience: A cinematic, fullscreen layout designed for clarity and focus. Minimal chrome, intuitive edit controls, and immersive preview areas kept attention on the creative output.
Mobile Experience: A fluid, thumb-friendly design that lets users animate, customize, and share in seconds. Gestures and motion feedback gave it a tactile, expressive feel.
Onboarding: A visually guided journey that introduces the “magic” within seconds, letting users create their first animation immediately — turning curiosity into delight.

The Process

1. Research & Insights
I analyzed tools like Runway, Kaiber, and Canva to understand how users interact with generative AI and creative platforms. Interviews revealed a key insight: people want instant payoff without losing creative control.
2. Wireframing & Flow Design
I mapped out a seamless user journey from Upload → Edit → Animate → Share, cutting unnecessary steps and surfacing smart defaults. The goal was momentum — keeping users moving and excited.
3. Visual & Interaction Design
The interface adopted a minimalist, cinematic aesthetic — bold visuals, spacious layouts, and motion as feedback. Every interaction, from buttons to transitions, was designed to feel responsive and alive.
4. Testing & Iteration
Prototype testing revealed where users hesitated or got lost. I refined onboarding cues, improved hierarchy, and simplified export options to reduce friction and improve completion rates.

The Impact

Accessibility Reimagined: Users of all skill levels could animate in minutes — transforming AI from intimidating to empowering. ⚡ Higher Activation: Streamlined onboarding dramatically increased first-session animation completions. 🎨 Brand Differentiation: Viggle.ai evolved from a niche AI tool into a creative brand that feels human, expressive, and forward-thinking. 🔁 Cross-Platform Consistency: A unified design system aligned both web and mobile experiences, reinforcing brand coherence and trust.

Reflection

This project was about more than designing a UI — it was about designing a feeling. The result is a platform that turns technology into artistry, and complex AI workflows into moments of effortless creation.
