Turning Browsers into Believers

Rewriting the user experience to showcase the magic of premium and make it irresistible.

The Challenge

Users weren’t seeing enough value in upgrading to premium. The app was full of features, but none of them stood out. The navigation was confusing, the premium offerings unclear, and worst of all—users didn’t feel like the app understood their needs.

Early Accomplishments

Sketches

I began ideating with pen and paper to quickly explore different ways to structure my app.

Low Fidelity

Bringing sketches to pixel, I created low-fidelity wireframes, establishing a foundation for the prototyping phase.

04 - Final Design

The Transformation

Showcasing Premium Value with Previews

Instead of just telling users about premium features, I showed them what they were missing.

Easy Access to Premium

Moved premium CTA front and center, ensuring users could easily update no matter where they were in the app.

Personalizing the Experience

Integrated a personalized recommendation engine that suggested premium content based on viewing habits.

Reflection & Takeaways

This project reinforced a crucial lesson: users don’t just want features; they want experiences that resonate with them. By making the premium value crystal clear, personalizing the experience, and streamlining navigation, we created a seamless journey from freemium to premium.

It’s not just about what you offer—it’s about how you make users feel.
