From concept to launch: How I designed a search feature for the Ellie productivity app! 🔍✨
My full design process:
1️⃣ Research (Mobbin is my go-to resource for UI/UX patterns)
2️⃣ Create mood boards in Figma
3️⃣ Define UX requirements and constraints
4️⃣ Explore multiple design approaches:
• Card-based with shadows
• Results grouped by match type
• Traditional list view
5️⃣ Match existing design system
6️⃣ Collaborate with developers on technical feasibility
7️⃣ Test with real data (not just perfect mock data!)
8️⃣ Iterate based on user feedback
9️⃣ Refine micro-interactions and details
Key design decisions:
✨ Removed filtering to simplify UI (backend limitations)
✨ Replaced type icons with checkboxes (more functional)
✨ Chose yellow highlighting over brand purple (better usability)
✨ Streamlined information displayed in search results
✨ Optimized empty states
This is the reality of product design - constant refinement, testing, and collaboration. The most elegant solutions often look simple, but that simplicity comes from dozens of thoughtful decisions along the way!
