My initial strategy focused on pinpointing quick wins within the original design to boost efficiency, setting a foundation before tackling collaborative improvements.

I analyzed Kaedim's original pages to uncover usability issues and pain points, then proposed a refined design to enhance visual hierarchy and improve user comprehension.

Guided by developer feedback and my analysis of the existing pages, I identified and focused on three key usability concerns within Kaedim's platform.

I analyzed responses in Kaedim's feedback portal and their workflow to understand the main friction points within the platform.

Many studios struggled to generate large volumes of assets efficiently due to the piecemeal workflow.

The decision was made to update Kaedim's existing workflow. I focused on improving the workflow through efficiency, transparency, and collaboration for development teams.

Kaedim's original workflow faced significant bottlenecks in mass-generating 3D assets, with errors or subpar outputs requiring tedious trial-and-error. Users had to repeatedly re-enter settings and leave the page to review results.

I redesigned the workflow to display generation results directly on the create page, allowing users to retain their settings and re-generate assets seamlessly.

Boosting asset production efficiency. I focused on surfacing relevant asset information for streamlined multi-tasking and implemented dropdowns and toggle switches to conceal irrelevant features.

A key challenge was reducing Kaedim's ticketing support. I decided the best way was to enhance engagement with self-service help cards.

I prioritized improving card visibility and readability while strengthening categorization through clearer iconography.

Kaedim's original designed used a horizontal layout to segment the preview section from the assets grid.

I switched the layout to side navigation to align with Kaedim's global navigation. I also included a list view to improve scrollability when locating assets.

In order to improve the scalability of Kaedim's asset folders, I removed them from the global side navigation, and placed them within the assets page within a toggle switch. The folders have a preview of the most recent asset in order to improve asset identification within folders.

A major pain point was the need to re-navigate to the main asses page to remove filter tags in folders. I added the ability to exit out of the folder without having to leave the assets page.

A major problem was teams constantly generating identical assets due to a lack of communication among teams. Since collaborative features was in Kaedim's development pipeline, I included a team activity tracker that was surfaced in teams' dedicated workspace.

Team members often download their generated assets to send to other artists who have more bandwidth. I introduced shared folders within team workspaces so assets can be shared seamlessly without leaving the platform.

3D development often has a pipeline with specialized individuals for each step. To increase collaboration efficiency, I designed a Kanban board, where users can customize their workflow pipeline and connect their tasks to shared folders.
