Buyer Product View
Empathize
Interviewed 15+ informal sellers (tailors,
stylists, market vendors)
Mapped out their current flow of selling via
WhatsApp/Instagram
Found that most don't know how to describe, caption, or promote what they sell
Define
Key question: "How might we help sellers
promote their offerings with zero digital
skills?"
Created personas and mapped user journeys
Identified 3 top barriers: content creation,
sharing, and payment trust
Ideate
Sketched simple flows: Upload → Auto-
generate → Share
Explored card layouts for description
previews
Designed smart tags, video ideas, and clear
CTAs ("Get More Buyers" instead of "Boost")
Prototype
Built mid- and high-fidelity screens in Figma
Designed interactive flows for: Uploading,
Description preview, Shoppable video
generation
Smart link & QR code sharing prototypes
Test
Tested with 10 real sellers
Learned that users preferred seeing preview
first
Simplified icon labels, added success
animations
Iterate
Renamed technical terms (e.g., "Boost" →
"Get More Buyers")
Reorganized flows for one-hand mobile use
Improved visual hierarchy & button feedback
Design Vision
Continue evolving Bota to be the most accessible selling platform for users regardless of technical background,
language barriers, or device preferences.
Clean, intuitive interfaces designed for users with varying technical comfort levels
