I joined The DesignLemonade after the core platform, information architecture, design system, and pillar structure, had already been defined.
My role focused on designing supporting experiences, including the Resources and Blog landing pages, along with additional content pages across the platform.
I also collaborated with my team during usability testing, assisting in moderated sessions and observing how users interacted with the product.

The approach prioritized clear structure, scannability, and ease of navigation, starting with low-fidelity wireframes and progressing into more refined layouts that informed the final designs.

To understand how the platform actually performed, we observed real users navigating the experience.

We conducted a live moderated usability testing with 4 users to evaluate how people navigated and interpreted the platform. The sessions focused on pages designed by my co-intern, Stefany, and I supported the process by assisting in test preparation, participating in live sessions, and observing user behavior to identify friction points and areas of confusion.

This experience strengthened my ability to identify usability issues through observation and translate them into meaningful design considerations. I learned to focus on clarity, structure, and user understanding rather than just visual execution.
