Ish7nha was already a trusted, well-regarded store known for unique features competitors lacked. Despite its strong reputation, the platform faced several challenges, which was the focus of my work to address.
Modernize the platform’s look and ensure a consistent brand identity across all touch points.
Simplify the customer experience and optimize the interface for both desktop and mobile.
Prepare the platform for future growth and reduce support requests through intuitive navigation.

Since the platform’s core users weren’t clearly defined in prior usability testing, I focused on structuring the sessions to include and represent these key users.
I asked the user to complete several tasks, such as browsing cards, selecting one, and finalizing a purchase.
Remote moderated usability testing
Screen recordings, think-aloud protocol, post-session questionnaires.
Identify usability issues, bottlenecks, and pain points to improve UX/UI
The usability sessions were truly delightful and gave me a deeper understanding of our users. Several highlights emerged that are worth addressing, either to enhance our overall experience or to make necessary changes.
In this phase I was exploring Ideas for each phase thinking what is the best solution that we could Implement? After a Long Journey of research and Insights.
From the opportunities identified, I shared one implemented solution per theme, showcasing user-driven improvements across the platform.
A smart search system with rotating category suggestions that inspire exploration and provide instant navigation to product categories.

A comprehensive, consistent design system for all buttons and icons across the entire app, ensuring users always know what's interactive and what to expect.

The question was clear to us, and we began by addressing the internal issues with straightforward, user-driven solutions.

Here’s the new version of Ish7nha, with an improved experience across Desktop, Mobile Web, and App. The design ensures consistency across platforms while providing a seamless and enjoyable user experience.



In designing the onboarding, I focused on three core elements: creating a simple and enjoyable experience, using clear language tailored to the target audience, and highlighting the main features.




Designing the Application was the first phase, Plenty of UI Designs Added later in the Web/ Mobile Home page, but the experience is having the same seamless and enjoyable experience




I consider notifications a critical engagement touchpoint, especially for apps that require ongoing interaction. As a result, I designed notification reminders with an engaging and thoughtful UI.
In addition to the revamp, Ish7nha introduced new features across the app and web/mobile experiences. I focused on ensuring these features genuinely helped users and were presented clearly and intuitively.

62% of parents said the wallet made buying for children simpler and faster.
35% expressed that they felt more in control of spending for their kids.
A notable insight was the demand for the wallet feature, driven largely by parents making purchases for their children.
63% of users stated that Cashback would increase their likelihood of repeat use.
58% of users continued using cashback after 2 weeks, indicating sustained value.
Cashback consistently emerged as a top user request, leading us to question how, and how much it would genuinely benefit users.


Repeat Visits: Users who spun the wheel returned 28% more frequently over the following day.
Interaction Rate: 74% of users engaged with the wheel at least once in their first session.
The Fortune Wheel added a sense of fun and reward to the app experience. Users found it motivating and enjoyable, transforming routine interactions into playful moments that encouraged continued engagement and higher retention.



The referral system was a key area where we noticed strong user interest, they were already referring the platform naturally. Offering rewards for these referrals turned it into a game-changer.
The eSIM feature goes beyond the store’s digital cards, offering users exciting new capabilities while supporting the expansion of the business.
We aimed to boost engagement through the app by providing consistent reminders about the app and cashback offers, which successfully increased user activity.
