Case Study/

Artivive' Onboarding Redesign—

Artivive is an Augmented Reality tool that allows artists to create new dimensions of art by linking classical with digital art. 

Project carried out together with my co-worker Delfina Tavelli.

Problem /

Artivive is struggling to engage new users with the platform due to lack of understanding of the product during the onboarding process.

Goal /

Reduce the learning curve for new users and enhance their overall experience by improving the web’s homepage and Sign up process.


User Journey /

User expectations:
1 . Clear online information about the product and its price.

2 . Find a tool that brings art to life and requires no technical knowledge.

Research /

Usability Testing - The current Artivive website was tested in person and remotely with 6 users to collect design insights.

Interview - We spoke to 8 artists about their challenges and thoughts regarding Art today and its relationship with technology.

Key findings /

1 . Confusing layout
2 . Unappealing commercial visuals
3 . Misleading tech proficiency
4 . Insufficient tool introduction

Solutions /

1 . Site architecture

Reconstruct the website’s layout, differentiating informative content from the marketplace and clearly separating content for artists and businesses, to better communicate with the main target audience

2 . Onboarding

. Incorporate a simple, clear overview of the AR art creation process on the homepage


. During registration, outline the various plan options and their features to prevent misaligned user expectations

3 . Communication

. Use clear and unambiguous language, particularly regarding pricing and required technical expertise


. Replace technical jargon with terms familiar to all users

4 . Navigation

. Improve user navigation by integrating feedback mechanisms, system statuses and prominent CTAs, to ensure user control and freedom at all times


. Swap out unnecessary steps or elements that can confuse or distract the users

Outcomes /

Upon prototype test, we witnessed the following improvements:

1 . Users quickly grasped Artivive's purpose and benefits within 15 seconds.

2 . The site's visual appeal boosted artist engagement.

3 . User experience improved with a clearer interface and better navigation.
