E-commerce plataform and editor for customized instagram filters

Introduction

In a digital age where personalization and social media intertwine, the need for bespoke digital content has never been more prevalent.

Recognizing a niche for customizable social media filters, I spearheaded the development of an innovative e-commerce platform that allows users to personalize filters for Instagram, catering to both personal events and corporate functions.

This project was showcased at the Rio Innovation Week in August 2024

My role and Contributions

My role encompassed comprehensive beanchmark research and the execution of user interface solutions that catered to an intuitive shopping and customization experience.

I led the design of user journeys, high-fidelity wireframes, and the final UI/UX implementations, ensuring that the platform was not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally robust.

Managing a team of six (between designers, developers and quality assurence professionals), I balanced project leadership with hands-on design tasks.

Platform

Highlights

Filter Creation Timeline

Users can track the development of their custom filter through a real-time timeline, viewing each step as their filter moves from design to approva

Real-time Editor

Through an intuitive editor, users can modify elements like color, text, and various 2D/3D assets to personalize their filter precisely.

Administrative Approval

To maintain quality and integrity to platform standards, every user-created filter undergoes a review process by an administrator before being made available,

Challenges

One significant challenge I faced was ensuring that the design of the platform supported the technical demands of customizable AR features.

Coordinating between the diverse needs of the design and development teams, I led efforts to create a seamless user experience that bridged creative aspirations with practical application.

This often meant translating complex design visions into actionable tasks for developers, ensuring both feasibility and fidelity in the final product.

Balancing the aesthetic elements with technical constraints required constant communication, negotiation, and compromise, particularly in integrating real-time customization features without sacrificing system performance.

Conclusion

This project not only enhanced my skills in managing complex challenges and teams but also deepened my understanding of the e-commerce landscape for digital content.

It stands as a testament to the potential of combining technology with creativity to meet contemporary needs in social media engagement.

Learnings

Leading a mixed team of designers and developers provided me with profound insights into the dynamics of cross-disciplinary collaboration.

I learned the importance of clear communication and setting realistic expectations to align different areas of expertise towards a common goal.

This experience underscored the value of a cohesive team dynamic where each member's strengths are leveraged to overcome technical and design challenges.
