What I found

PROBLEM

Stanza faced usability hurdles, with unclear workflows and significant inconsistencies. These issues made the platform less accessible, highlighting the need for a unified and personalized experience to better serve user needs.

Key Opportunities

Enhance UX/UI for intuitive navigation, rebrand to align with Stanza’s mission, equip the team with modern tech for streamlined workflows, and establish a consistent, user-friendly design language across all platforms.

Product Goal

Deliver a cohesive experience across devices, appealing to diverse audiences. Encourage engagement by connecting with new users, reigniting interest among past users, and creating a seamless onboarding process.

Defining Success

Expand Stanza’s user base by attracting new users and rekindling interest from dormant ones. Ensure accessibility through affordability while refining onboarding to provide an intuitive entry point for new users.

Exploration
