DizzyDX
In this passion project, I am undertaking the redesign of Dustloop's BlazBlue wiki page, a community-managed platform encompassing a diverse array of fighting video games. As an active user of the site, I recognized the need for enhancing its information architecture, navigation, and mobile responsiveness to improve user accessibility. Motivated by this realization, I embarked on this passion project. Leveraging Figma, I crafted a high fidelity prototype, focusing on improving the user experience through user-centered design. To execute this approach, I conducted user interviews with participants who represented a variety of user groups. This study enabled me to develop a prototype that promotes a more seamless and user- friendly interface for the Dustloop and BlazBlue communities.
