Project

Passion Pays Off

Vei empowers individuals to monetize their talents and skills online, turning passions into livelihoods. Conceived from the simple yet profound question of enabling people to earn from their unique abilities, Vei is a web platform designed to facilitate this vision. It allows users to easily monetize their trade or talent through live sessions. Seeking designers with expertise in payment and scheduling features, we embarked on a journey filled with challenges to bring this innovative idea to life.

A group of four young adults are gathered around a table, engaging in a lively conversation and smiling. They appear to be in a casual, friendly meeting or study session. One person is using a tablet, another has a laptop, and two are holding coffee cups. The word "vei" is prominently displayed in the center of the image, accompanied by a simple, stylized logo of a person. The background features a white brick wall and wooden furniture, creating a cozy, informal atmosphere.

Solutions

From User Insights to Intuitive Design

Initially, we laid the groundwork for further development by deeply engaging with our users. Through interviews, we delved into their challenges and existing sustainable practices. Feedback revealed that while users were enthusiastic about the product, the interface posed usability issues. This insight propelled us into comprehensive research, aiming to fully understand Vei customers' needs and key touchpoints. Our goal was to establish a strong brand core that would inform effective design choices, guiding us toward an interface that not only meets but anticipates user needs.

A dashboard interface with a purple background displaying various widgets and data for Darrell Steward, a client since March 2020. The dashboard includes sections for revenue ($360), sessions (25), and average order ($11). Other widgets show the client’s contact information, session types, purchase history, private notes, a filter for purchased sessions, subscriber count (26), typography options, a pie chart of client demographics by country (USA, Mexico, England, and Other), monthly subscription cost ($295), and options to share a yoga class for beginners via Facebook, Messenger, Email, and a copied link. The bottom section displays three color swatches: Dark Purple, Ultramarine, and Lavender Blue.
