I conducted research to understand how sellers and buyers interacted with live auctions on other platforms. This included studying engagement patterns, competitive features, and common pain points in live bidding environments. This research guided the design of Collektr’s key flows, ensuring an intuitive user experience.

I began by wireframing the live streaming and bidding process, ensuring sellers could easily set up their streams, and buyers could seamlessly place bids.

The interface emphasized real-time interactions, with clear, actionable prompts to guide both sellers and buyers throughout the auction. Iterations focused on improving visual cues for live status, bid placement, countdown timers, and notifications when users were outbid.

Using Figma, I created high-fidelity prototypes to test the live streaming and bidding experience. User testing revealed the importance of real-time feedback, so we refined the notification system to ensure users were promptly notified when they were outbid or when time was running out.

Collaborating closely with engineers, I ensured the design accommodated the technical complexities of real-time streaming and bidding without compromising user experience.
