Although product emails and pop-up modals had been functioning as intended, the team was faced with a gap between actual user behaviour and expected outcomes. This prompted us to address the decline in user satisfaction and engagement. To bridge this gap, our goal was to redesign the emails and pop-up modals, to provide an engaging experience for users, ultimately increasing user retention and satisfaction.

Research & Analysis: I studied competitor brands and industry trends to gather insights within the FinTech domain. BankBazaar's designs for both emails and pop-ups were consistent with those of major FinTech brands. This prompted us to think outside the box for solutions.
Wireframing & Prototyping: I worked with a content writer to design low-fidelity prototypes to visualise our new designs, presented them to the team and iteratively refined them based on feedback. Afterward, we built a high-fidelity, interactive prototype to test the design.
Usability Testing: We conducted A/B testing to narrow down the designs that performed well. Based on the feedback, we made necessary adjustments to the design.
Visual Design & Style Guide: Mockups were drawn prioritising visual design principles to optimise eye movement and readability. We also used animated visuals within the emails and pop-up modals. I maintained a cohesive visual language, including color schemes, typography, and iconography, ensuring consistency throughout the product.
