🎯 Overview

Paper is a social media web platform designed for users to post updates, interact with friends, and explore trending topics. This redesign focused on usability, visual clarity, and responsive adaptability—ensuring a seamless experience across desktop, tablet and mobile devices.

💡 Problem

The original platform lacked hierarchy, visual polish, and modern experience design. It needed a cleaner layout, simplified navigation, and stronger adaptability for varied screen sizes.

✨ Goals

• Enhance visual hierarchy for better readability

• Design a clean, intuitive interface adaptable across devices

• Ensure responsive scalability from mobile to large screens

• Improve flows for posting, browsing, and engagement

🧭 My Approach

1. Research & Audit I reviewed leading social platforms to identify common UX patterns and mobile-first considerations.

2. Wireframing Created low-fidelity wireframes tailored for both mobile and desktop views—ensuring content prioritization and usability on each device.

4. UI Design

   • Introduced a sidebar layout for desktop and a simplified bottom tab bar for mobile

   • Designed a centralized content feed with adaptable grids

   • Used consistent icons and spacing for clean readability

   • Added trending topics, friends list, and a compact post composer optimized per screen size

5. Interaction Design Designed responsive behaviors and transitions to give users a smooth experience regardless of device.

The redesigned feed centers the content and elevates clarity, with layout flexibility that adapts fluidly between mobile and desktop.

✅ Outcome

This redesign delivers a modern, elegant, and responsive user experience. Whether users log in from their phone or laptop, they get a clean, engaging interface that encourages exploration and interaction.
