Problem :

Users struggled to quickly understand profiles, actions, and next steps in a mobile service flow.

User :

Consumers interacting with service providers in a mobile-first product.

Key challenge :

Creating predictable, low-friction flows without overwhelming users.

My role :

UX/UI design, flow definition, wireframing, and final interface design.

Outcome :

Clearer user journeys, improved action clarity, and a more consistent experience.

Context & Constraints

McPloy is a mobile service platform designed to help users explore profiles, interact, and complete actions quickly with minimal friction.

Constraints list

• Mobile-first usage with short attention spans

• Low tolerance for confusing or inconsistent flows

• Need for clear role-based interactions

• Balance between simplicity and functional depth

• Balance between simplicity and functional depth

User Research & Baseline Insights

Early exploration and usability checks indicated that users needed clearer hierarchy and more predictable navigation to understand what actions were available at each step.

The Core Problem

Users experienced hesitation and friction because profiles, actions, and role-based flows were not immediately clear or predictable.

My Role & Responsibilities

I was responsible for defining clear user flows and translating them into a consistent, mobile-friendly interface.

• Defined end-to-end user flows

• Designed mobile-first layouts and interactions

• Created wireframes to validate structure

• Built a consistent UI system

• Refined designs to reduce ambiguity

Information Architecture & User Flows

The product supports two distinct roles—hiring and getting hired. The core structure was designed to allow users to switch roles seamlessly while maintaining context and continuity.

Wireframes & Layout Exploration

Layout exploration focused on hierarchy, spacing, and clarity before finalizing high-fidelity designs.

Key Design Decisions & Trade-offs

  • Limited actions per screen to avoid overload

  • Used consistent card layouts across profiles and jobs

  • Prioritized swipe and chat as primary actions

  • Kept secondary actions visually subdued

  • Integrated monetization without disrupting core flows

Final UI

The final UI delivers a consistent, mobile-first experience focused on clarity, fast actions, and predictable navigation.

Impact & Results

• Improved clarity of available actions

• Reduced hesitation during key interactions

• More predictable and consistent user flows

• Stronger overall usability in a mobile context

What I Learned

• Clarity and consistency matter more than feature density

• Well-defined flows reduce friction more than visual complexity

• Mobile service products benefit from predictable patterns
