UX/UI & Interaction Design

Overview

Valeri is PointData’s AI-powered Automated Valuation Model (AVM), built to predict land and property values through complex, data-rich models. Despite its sophistication, the product struggled with usability and clarity, making it difficult for users to fully understand and trust the insights it provided.

I led the end-to-end redesign of the platform, rethinking both the user experience and how the product was positioned. This included restructuring the information architecture, simplifying complex data interactions, and aligning the product with a new brand direction. The work extended beyond the interface into a full rebrand and go-to-market rollout, ensuring the product was not only easier to use, but also easier to understand and adopt.

My role

I led design across product, brand and marketing, working closely with engineering and sales teams.

My role spanned:

  • User research and testing

  • UX/UI design and platform redesign

  • Brand identity and positioning

  • Marketing assets and campaign rollout

Valeri Platform redesign timeline: broad overview

Phase 1: Understanding the problem

We began by auditing the existing platform to understand how users interacted with a complex, data-heavy product.

This included:

  • Market sounding research

  • Internal (guerrilla) and external user testing

  • Data analysis using Hotjar (heatmaps), Google Analytics and platform dashboards

These insights highlighted a few key challenges:

  1. Navigation and information architecture were difficult to understand

  2. Core features were not easily discoverable

  3. Terminology such as “AI-powered AVM” felt unclear and intimidating to users

My work

Research

Competitor analysis as part of Market Sounding Research  (external agency)

Engaged an agency and consulted on the formal research (focus groups, questionnaires) 

🤓 One of the key needs we identified based on the research findings was to give the AI platform a helpful face users could relate to

Design and testing

Created wireframes, mocks and finished designs (Sketch and Figma)

Mid-fidelity prototyping in Invision for end user testing

Ran guerrilla testing with internal participants using the test environment 

Planned and facilitated qualitative testing with external users with Invision prototypes on usertesting.com

Formal testing using TestMate to recruit and facilitate sessions using my brief

Delivery

Stakeholder management, ongoing prioritisation and alignment with the C-level executives and senior leadership

Worked cross functionally to design and deliver in sprints (using Trello and Kanban)

Engaged in Agile meetings including stand ups, sprint planning and backlog refinement (Gitlab), Retros etc.   

Collaborated with Engineers for design handover using Figma Inspect

Post release quantitative data analysis with Google analytics, Hubspot (heat maps) and Valeri backend dashboards. 

Impact & Insights

Increased feature engagement

The integration of map and street view functionality led to higher interaction rates within property pages. This could be measured through increased clicks on map features, longer session durations, and deeper page exploration per visit.

Improved report conversion rate

Repositioning reports with clearer descriptions and direct download links improved the report download conversion rate by. That was measured by tracking the percentage of users who viewed a report description and proceeded to download it.

Phase 2: Product redesign

The platform was redesigned to improve usability, clarity and overall user experience.

Usability & navigation

  • Simplified structure and improved information hierarchy

  • Made key features easier to find and understand

Key flows optimisation

  • Improved onboarding experience, including “create password” flow

  • Redesigned subscription and billing processes to reduce friction

Feature improvements and user experience

  • Introduced map and street view functionality, allowing users to explore data in context

  • Repositioned reports with clearer descriptions and direct download access

These changes made the platform more intuitive and actionable, helping users better engage with complex property data.

User testing

User testing was conducted in two stages. We began with internal sessions involving staff members and close contacts, which helped validate early assumptions and identify quick usability wins. This was followed by two rounds of remote external testing, each with six participants, facilitated by an independent agency. The external sessions provided objective feedback that informed refinements ahead of release.

Phase 3: Rebrand & positioning

Alongside the product redesign, I led the rebrand of Valeri to make the product more accessible and easier to understand.

The challenge was translating a highly technical product into something users could quickly grasp and trust.

This included:

  • Developing a clearer, more human visual identity

  • Defining how the product is communicated beyond technical terminology

  • Creating a recognisable “face” for Valeri to improve accessibility and engagement’

Phase 4: Go-to-market & rollout

To support the launch, I led the design of marketing and campaign assets and worked closely with sales, product and engineering teams on rollout strategy.

This included:

  • Paid and organic campaigns

  • Marketing collateral across digital and print

  • Cross-functional collaboration to align messaging, product and timing

This ensured the redesigned product and new brand were introduced to market in a cohesive and strategic way.

Meet Valeri

Market Sounding research revealed that many users did not fully understand what artificial intelligence meant, and some even felt uneasy about it. To address this, we decided to humanise Valeri and make the technology feel more approachable. As lead designer on this initiative, my objective was to quite literally give Valeri a face and create a stronger connection with users.

Valeri as a 'personal assistant' that can help you search for properties.

Social Media

I worked closely with the sales manager and engineers to plan the social media rollout for the launch of Valeri. We aligned on key messages, audience focus and timing to make sure the content reflected both the product’s technical strengths and its value to clients.

I was responsible for coordinating the campaign end-to-end, designing all visual assets and ensuring the messaging stayed consistent with the company’s objectives. I also managed timelines and scheduling to make sure posts and stories were delivered and published on time.
