HKMeeting

A full redesign and rebrand, from product thinking up.一次徹底的重設計與品牌重塑,從產品思維開始。

Staff Product Designer · HKGAI · 2024資深產品設計師 · HKGAI · 2024
What I inherited was decoration, not a product — pixels pushed without product thinking. I rebuilt it end to end: the core flow, information architecture, a new brand and design system, so recording, transcription and recap became one clear job.我接手時,它只是一層「美化」,不是一個產品——有畫面、沒有產品思維。我把它從頭到尾重做:核心流程、信息架構、全新品牌與設計系統,讓錄音、轉寫、回顧合成一件清楚的事。
