Géraldine,
Strategic Design Consultant

I'm Géraldine. I help businesses solve real problems through design: unclear brand positioning, user experiences that drive people away, visual identity that hasn't kept pace with growth.

Case Studies

How I work

I don't arrive with a pre-packaged solution. I arrive with the right questions and cover the entire design chain so you don't have to manage five different people.

01

Strategic diagnosis

Brand or UX audit, problem definition workshop, solution roadmap. The starting point before investing.

02

Branding & visual identity

Positioning, logo, graphic system, brand guide. An identity that reflects who you truly are.

03

UX/UI & product design

User research, wireframes, prototypes, testing then an interface that converts and retains.

04

UX research

Interviews, usability tests, insight synthesis. The data to make better product decisions.

05

Strategic websites

Design and development (Webflow, WordPress). A site that works for you, not just a brochure.

The Problem

Before the redesign, Luci's onboarding felt like an obstacle course: 12 pages, over 30 clicks, and an unclear value proposition.

Most users dropped off before even getting a glimpse of what Luci could offer them. My goal: simplify account creation to improve conversion, reduce drop-off, and clarify the product's value from the very first seconds.

My Approach

  1. Data analysis to identify high-friction steps
  2. User interviews to understand pain points and confusion
  3. Stakeholder alignment on essential steps
  4. Rapid wireframes & iteration on multiple simplified flows using AI
  5. User testing with concrete scenarios to validate design decisions
  6. Post-launch tracking via quantitative data and qualitative feedback

Results

A flow completed in under 30 seconds
Clear value proposition from the first screens, in accessible language
+5% conversion on account creation
Enthusiastic feedback on clarity and flow

Key Takeaway

A good onboarding isn't about saying everything it's about saying just the right thing, at the right moment. This project helped me find the right balance between business imperatives and user expectations.

We didn't just gain 5 conversion points. We earned users' trust from the very first interaction.
