The problem

Choosing a hairstyle lacks personalization. People struggle to picture how a style will suit their face shape before committing at the barber.

My role and constraints

As UI/UX Design Intern at Quackly, I led the end-to-end UX, from survey research and personas to information architecture and high-fidelity screens. Facial data is sensitive, so privacy and permissions had to be designed in, not added later.

Process

Survey research with 10 users: 8 of 10 surveyed users wanted AI personalisation, and 7 of 10 had privacy concerns about facial data.

Discover (research and competitive analysis), define (personas and MoSCoW), ideate (information architecture and user flows), then design (style guide and type).

  3. Ideate

  4. Design

What I learned

Biometric data needs radical transparency in privacy settings, and a minimal UI keeps complex AI output from overwhelming people.
