UX CASE STUDY - INTERNSHIP PROJECT
Most users never made it past setup so i redesigned onboarding from the ground up. A 0→1 onboarding experience and authentication redesign for a virtual try-on product — researched, designed, animated, and prototyped end-to-end during my UX internship.

Drag items here to try on
A Chrome extension based AI styling product that allows users to try on outfits while browsing.
I redesigned onboarding to help users move from install to first try-on without friction.
The product introduced a new behavior styling through a browser extension.
Users had to install, pin, upload an image, and learn a new interaction model.
Most users never reached the core experience.
01 THE PROBLEMS
Extension wasn't usable Users installed it, but didn’t pin it
Image Upload Failed Requirements for a good virtual try on were not clear
Not Globally Intuitive Text Heavy and relied on users making assumptions
Challenge
Design an onboarding flow that helps users complete setup and reach their first successful try-on
regardless of technical familiarity.
02 PROCESS
🔍
Research Competitor analysis of Chrome extension onboarding patterns
💡
Ideate 2–3 alternatives per screen for design review
🎨
Rapid Prototype AI-assisted exploration, rebuilt in Figma for handoff
✅
Animation Jitter animations for extension pin tutorial
🚀
Handoff Figma specs and flow documentation to dev
Process
Research: Rapid user interviews, focused on real pain points, set priorities for design.
Exploration: Explored early wireframes and tested flows with real users.
Key decisions: Prioritized intuitive layout, snappy feedback, and visual clarity.

Reflection
Onboarding isn’t about explaining it’s about enabling.
Designing for a Chrome extension required thinking beyond traditional UI and removing assumptions about user behavior.
Clarity drives confidence.
