👩💻 My Role
Guided by mentor feedback through DesignLab to simulate real-world collaboration.
AuditUX is a collaborative SaaS platform that streamlines website auditing for designers, developers, and clients. Developed through stakeholder interviews and usability testing, it solves the problem of misaligned feedback and fragmented workflows. With intuitive project setup, task assignment, and real-time commenting, AuditUX becomes a single source of truth for cross-functional teams — reducing rework and accelerating delivery.
Sole UX Designer & Researcher — conducted interviews, usability tests, and prototypes to align user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility.
The Challenge
Audit processes were fragmented across design and development teams — creating misaligned expectations, redundant feedback loops, and slower delivery cycles.
AuditUX enhances website design through automated audits that detect issues in typography, scalability, and accessibility. By combining design and development metrics, it improves SEO and streamlines redesign workflows. The platform bridges gaps between designers, developers, and project managers with a CI/CD-based tool that fosters collaboration and speeds delivery.

Design System
AI streamlined design and user flow creation by automating repetitive tasks, generating rapid iterations, and suggesting improvements based on best practices. Tools like Claude.AI, UX Pilot, and GPT validated decisions and reduced manual effort — allowing more time for creative exploration and testing.
Feature Highlights
A closer look at the three modules designed to unify analytics, collaboration, and design consistency.
Visualizes key performance metrics to help teams monitor design quality and accessibility in real time.
Simplifies collaboration by integrating pull requests, review queues, and build metrics into one unified view.
Centralizes reusable UI components, patterns, and tokens for scalable design consistency.
Research & Insights
Why are Designers and Developers using several tools for the same purpose?
“Data sources are outdated and do not refresh enough. Impossible to make relevant and timely conclusions from the service’s analytics.”

Practices
Based on competitive analysis research, design teams typically use several tools primarily for auditing, as well as, design and team management, due to missing features.
However, a team of designers using several tools potentially leads to a disconnect in timeline, budget and design.
Design teams are unintentionally finding the market gaps in design and auditing tools.
How might a shared design board help team members create a coordinated design?
The option to work in tandem with other designers and developers will give team members the opportunity to view, respond, fix errors, and add to their teams work, Improving team role understanding.
How might an all in one auditing tool increase team productivity?
Real time chat feature as well as a shared design board will help design teams create a consistent redesign while showing the client their progress.
How might creating a collaborative design software with real time communication and task tracking help enhance team member progress?
An in depth auditing tool that sends simplified and clear reports to clients will increase client and stakeholder understanding, reducing risk of late release due to client modification.
Ideate
Rapid sketching to explore multiple solutions before selecting the MVP.
Information Architecture
After completing the research and identifying potential MVPs, I began rapid sketching using an 8-frame layout. Each frame represented a possible feature or workflow improvement. By dedicating one minute per frame, I generated diverse interface ideas that informed the final wireframes for AuditUX.
Design Process
Before diving into design, I analyzed approaches from other SaaS platforms with complex systems to understand how they tailored interfaces across devices. This informed my layout decisions for both tablet and desktop users.

Planning and Scope
After several interviews, I defined the product of Audit UX, prioritizing features that balanced user and business goals, bridging the gap between designers, developers, and clients.
User Interviews
I interviewed a product manager, two designers, two developers, and a graphic designer to gather insights and translate them into features that address user practices and motivations.
After several meetings, I created a foundation and prototypes to share my vision, design principles, and content strategy, which helped structure and guide decision-making.
Strategy
Helped identify MVP features, refine prompt logic, and suggest CI/CD collaboration patterns.
Claude.ai + Figma Integration – Flow Refinement
Generated task flows and UI copy variants for the “Add Team Member” journey.
UX Pilot – AI-Driven Wireframes
Automatically generated early wireframes from structured prompts, reducing manual setup time.
Prototype
AI tools accelerated early prototyping by generating feature ideas, interface flows, and wireframe drafts based on user needs and design constraints.

How might we address the unique pain points of designers, developers, and project leads during redesigns?
This question guided every stage of Audit UX’s evolution — from research and ideation to prototyping and reflection.

Reflection & Learnings
Audit UX was a deeply personal project focused on redefining the website redesign process by centering design teams as the primary users. My goal was to address the pain points of designers, developers, and project leads while streamlining the costly, time-consuming redesign process. By prioritizing responsive design, I conceptualized an innovative meta-SaaS tool to simplify cross-platform adaptation.
Leveraging AI increased efficiency and reduced project time by 75%. It accelerated ideation, optimized user flows, and enabled rapid prototyping — allowing me to tackle complex design challenges within an 80-hour timeframe. Although time constraints limited testing with a larger participant pool, I gained valuable insights into team collaboration patterns and successful redesign practices.
In the future, integrating tools like Maze for unmoderated usability testing could enhance analytics and task flow insights. This project also marked my first collaboration with subject matter experts prior to user testing — a practice I plan to expand for greater impact in future projects.
