problem statement

The website had both UX and UI challenges

broken purchase path

The course search process was long, unclear, and often led users to dead ends. With multiple steps and disconnected filters, the journey lacked continuity — causing frustration and drop-offs.

outdated visual identity

The website no longer reflected the dynamic spirit of Egurrola Dance Studio. Both the client and users felt disconnected from the design, which weakened brand credibility.

Client with high expectations

We faced a fixed go-live date while the project scope grew at each stage.

methods:
  • user flow analysis
  • visual audit

solution

Big-picture thinking & risk management

strategic workshops

I presented key insights from data analysis, facilitated the creation of two user personas, and led a Customer Journey Mapping session.

expectation management

To stay on track with the timeline, I introduced a client-facing wishlist - helping us separate must-haves from nice-to-haves and maintain focus on priorities.

cross-functional collaboration

Together with the project manager, we broke the project into phases and coordinated parallel workflows across teams.

methods:
  • stakeholder workshop
  • personas
  • customer Journey Mapping
  • wishlist

design

Translating strategy into UX

information architecture

I created a full information architecture for the complex portal - mapping key pages, features, and user flows. Workshop insights and data analysis made this stage smooth and focused.

creating wireframes

I designed an optimized search experience for EDS, allowing users to filter by location, dance style, and age group - tailored to the structure of schools across multiple cities.

prototyping

I always prototype my solutions - it speeds up approvals, supports collaboration, and helps clients clearly understand how the website will work.

  • information architecture
  • UX design

lessons learned

Mindful collaboration and open communication

collaboration with developers

Regular consultations with developers led to time and budget optimizations - while fostering mutual learning and better decision-making.

stakeholder awareness

Working with multiple subcontractors highlighted the importance of identifying and considering all stakeholders early on to reduce risk.

radical transparency

Throughout the project, I clearly communicated what was achievable within the timeline - sharing both recommendations and potential risks to build trust and clarity.
