Project: AI-Accelerated Content Management Concept Testing
Timeline: August–September 2025 (1 month)
Role: UX Designer
Users: 1.85 million potential users globally
Led an AI-accelerated research process to validate a "Content Drawer" concept for reusable content snippets before committing development resources.
Used ChatGPT to develop realistic instructor narratives and product requirements, then built a functional prototype with Bolt.new in days instead of weeks.
Reduced prototype development time by 70% and research synthesis time by 40% compared to traditional Figma-based workflows.
Conducted unmoderated concept testing with eight university instructors across diverse disciplines, using AI to accelerate transcript analysis and theme identification.
Validated strong instructor interest in combining their own materials with publisher content, identified critical requirements (media support, automatic saving, assessment integration), and moved the concept into the design backlog.
Demonstrated that AI-powered workflows can compress research timelines from ten weeks to three weeks while maintaining insight quality.
