Design Process

Five phases from research to refinement

  • Interviewed solo creators, news curators, and content managers about their daily workflows
  • Identified recurring pain points around planning, scheduling, and managing multiple platforms
  • Analyzed competitor tools to uncover gaps in AI assistance, automation, and mobile usability
Content planning feels more stressful than creating the content itself.
  • 73% of users found content planning more stressful than content creation
  • 93% wanted faster support turning ideas into ready-to-publish posts
  • 87% preferred simple visual dashboards over dense analytics tables
Users needed clarity and guidance - not more complex features.
  • Creation: too many steps from idea to post → Introduced an AI-guided creation flow
  • Planning: content scattered across tools → Centralized scheduling in one visual calendar
  • Editing: repetitive formatting across platforms → Added templates, tone controls, and image generation
Primary flow: Idea → Create → Review → Schedule → Track
  • Created and refined mobile-first wireframes around the core publishing workflow
  • Designed interactive prototypes for content generation, editing, and scheduling
  • Tested the experience with 15 participants and iterated on navigation, clarity, and task flow
Users completed key publishing tasks with less friction after iteration.
  • Improved flows based on moderated usability testing and participant feedback
  • Refined visual hierarchy, interaction patterns, and contextual guidance
  • Continued testing AI generation, scheduling, and planning features during development
The product is currently being developed, tested, and refined.
