Designing
Perspective

an AI-powered app to capture your life, reflect on your moments, and get perspective on who you are.

Perspective users can capture moments via audio, text, or pictures, and reflect about them via prompts and personalized experiences generated with AI.

the iOS app had over 100 paying subscribers after release, with weekly product updates and hundreds of user moments created.

the app went through three major UX pivots driven by extensive user feedback and behavior analysis. early iterations tested different visual identities, navigation, and capturing concepts, always aiming to create an authentic journaling experience.

Block
Design
System

a conversion-driven landing page design system rooted in continuous optimization created for Postclick, an Instapage startup.

a flexible library of 18 modular landing page sections ⸺ blocks ⸺ with interchangeable designs, allowing machine learning to determine which styles drove the highest conversion rates.

landing pages created with Postclick’s MVP achieved 16% average conversion rate and 20% average conversion lift, leading to over 500 million conversions across 3M post-click experiences.
