SaaS Navigation Redesign: Cuts Clicks, Boosts Efficiency by 40%

Users needed 3+ clicks to reach essential pages. Through rigorous IA research with 3,500+ auction houses, we rebuilt the navigation from the ground up — reducing click depth by 40% and surfacing hidden features that users didn't know existed.

The Company

WOOOBA is the go-to platform for sports enthusiasts to organize, discover, and join competitive pickup games. It bridges casual players with structured competitions fostering community where athletes of all levels can connect, compete, and grow.

The Challenge

Event organizers had no way to collect and manage fees within the app, forcing manual workarounds that created friction, lost revenue, and made scaling impossible.

The Opportunity

A Wallet feature would solve the payment problem while unlocking a brand new revenue stream, transforming WOOOBA from a free community platform into a scalable fintech business.

Full Case Study Available Under NDA

The complete process — research insights, wireframes, interaction design, and design system — is protected by an NDA. I'm happy to walk through everything in detail during a conversation.

My Role in This

What it looked like from the inside

01What I Owned

End-to-end, from blank page to handoff

Full process, no existing fintech design language. Built payment UX patterns and components from scratch.

02Hardest Call

Designing for the messy moments

Insufficient funds, failed transactions, retry flows, figuring out how to handle the messy moments without breaking the trust the rest of the design worked hard to build.

03What I'd Do Differently

Get enterprise users in the room earlier

Get engineering validation earlier on the technical constraints, so edge cases get solved once, not redesigned twice.
