My Contribution
My Contribution
Mira Photo is a newly launched app focused on user growth and retention. As a designer, I focused on refining its visual design, creating seamless user experiences, and iterating quickly based on user feedback.
I designed Mira Photo’s onboarding and dedicated model feed from scratch, and redesigned its identity verification experience. Through refined layouts, typography, and interaction feedback, I delivered a cohesive visual experience, guided profile setup, clearer verification error recovery, and a new space for models to showcase their work and get discovered.
