PersonaLab

PersonaLab

Product Designers, UX Researchers and product managers waste weeks waiting for user feedback, often testing with limited demographics that miss critical usability issues. And often companies do not have budget to invest in user testing as well, so this is time, money and effort saver all in one.

Imagine,

being able to test your design the moment inspiration strikes—no waiting weeks for feedback, no struggling to find the “right” users, no burning budget on slow, biased research.

• Flow overview : Upload Figma prototype → AI personas interact → Get feedback in under 30 seconds
• Focus on generating 3-5 diverse user types that behave like real people from different demographics and industries

• Goals was scalability as well- to support both solo designers and enterprise at the same performance level

Challenges & Iterations

Challenges & Iterations

I focused on restructuring information hierarchy, defining critical user flows, and aligning product requirements with actionable outcomes. Iterations centered on simplifying decision-making, reducing cognitive load, and ensuring the interface guided users toward measurable progress.

Before

Before

The dashboard page lacked clarity and provided no clear guidance on next steps, leaving users unsure of how to act on feedback.

Redesigned the dashboard to highlight actionable insights upfront, prioritize urgent improvements, and helping users instantly understand progress and what to do next.

Lessons Learned

Lessons
Learned

  1. Users don’t want all the data—they want to know what to do next.


  2. It’s better to ship an imperfect solution, learn, and refine than to over-polish in isolation- I wasted a lot of credits in building fast than refining PRD


  3. Using AI to simulate user personas taught me how AI can actively shape UX research and reduce dependencies on traditional, costly processes.
