Design and Prototyping of a Video-Sharing platform
Overview
MetaPrompter (rebranded as VidLink) is an ongoing product design project for a video-sharing platform that allows creators to upload and share videos, with timestamped prompts linking to services or products.
The goal was to design a sleek, modern platform that encourages creation, sharing, and interaction while supporting both user and admin workflows.
I joined the project as a product designer, working closely with the CEO from early concept through prototyping.
Design approach
The design focused on clarity, scalability, and ease of use for first-time users and creators. The platform needed to feel intuitive while supporting relatively complex interactions, such as adding timestamped prompts, managing videos, and handling moderation on the admin side.
I was given creative freedom to define the visual direction and user experience. After a few iterations and comparative analysis, we defined a design direction that balanced strong UI/UX principles with the CEO’s vision for the product.
This included establishing the visual identity (color palette, typography, and interface components) and defining content hierarchy and copy.
All core user journeys were mapped and prototyped, covering:
- User onboarding and sign-up
- Video creation and sharing
- Defining the content the user was going to see, including videos and cards with prompts for different timestamps.
- Adding and managing timestamped prompters
- Creator profile management
- Admin actions such as content approval, credit allocation, and user moderation
Design decisions were validated through close collaboration with the web developer to ensure technical feasibility.
Role & Responsibilities
I was responsible for expanding the client’s initial idea into a complete UI framework and defining how users would interact with complex, security driven components while keeping the experience clear and usable.
My responsibilities included:
- Defining the overall interface structure and layout logic.
- Defining how users navigate, access settings, and interact with complex components such as the internal workspace and file management experience.
- Building a large component system covering both high-level sections and detailed UI elements.
- Producing high-fidelity prototypes to support validation and development.
In total, I designed more than 50 components, ranging from large structural elements to smaller components such as cards, video grids, navigation bars and buttons with multiple variants.
Outcome
MetaPrompter currently has a fully defined product design and interactive prototype that supports both creator and admin workflows across desktop and mobile.
The project is ongoing, with continued iteration and feature expansion planned as the platform evolves.
