Timeline

August 2024 - December 2024

Background

Tulasi Filing Systems’ website struggles to present its Priority Files in a modern, sleek, and engaging way. While the brand is professional and trusted, its product presentation lacks the refined aesthetics and interactivity needed to highlight the quality and functionality of its filing systems. The current design is functional but uninspiring, missing an opportunity to create a polished, high-end experience that aligns with the brand’s identity.

Research

To inform the design of Priority Files, I conducted semi-structured interviews with a diverse group of users who regularly manage physical and digital documents. The goal was to understand their needs, pain points, and behaviors related to prioritizing, accessing, and organizing important files efficiently.

From Pain Points to Possibilities

❌ → ✅

The Priority Files lack a clear visual hierarchy, failing to convey their urgency and importance. Without distinct emphasis, they blend in with other products rather than standing out as essential tools. Additionally, weak product presentation, minimal visuals and descriptions, fails to highlight their unique purpose and organizational benefits, making them feel generic.

My Solution

To reinforce the priority aspect, I restructured the visual hierarchy to emphasize urgency and importance. By enhancing product imagery, refining descriptions, and introducing clearer categorization, I made the files feel more intentional and essential. This approach ensures that users immediately recognize their value, improving both engagement and usability.
