A Digital Memorial Platform with a Powerful Purpose
Remember.bio is a digital platform that allows people to commemorate their loved ones through personalized memory pages. The platform carries deep emotional value, helping families and friends preserve stories, photos, and tributes in a lasting, accessible way.
As part of a collaborative redesign project with the live company, our team of six UX/UI designers was tasked with rethinking the experience from the ground up. I was responsible for designing and structuring the “Add a Loved One” flow — the multi-step creation process — and the Final Memorial Page, where all memories and content come together into a meaningful tribute. Together with another team member, we led the design of these two key areas, focusing on clarity, emotional tone, and user support throughout the process.

The Problem
A Meaningful Purpose, But a Frustrating Experience
A Meaningful Purpose, But a Frustrating Experience
Although Remember.bio serves a powerful purpose, its original interface didn’t reflect the emotional sensitivity of the memorial process.

We identified several challenges:
01
Uniform, template-like memorial pages with no room for personal expression

We asked ourselves:
How can we guide users gently through such a delicate process?
How do we offer personalization without overwhelming them?
And how do we create an experience that feels authentic and comforting?

Before crafting our design solution, we took a deep dive into the existing platform to identify critical pain points in the user experience. While Remember’s purpose is deeply meaningful — honoring the memory of loved ones — the interface failed to reflect that emotional depth. Instead, the journey felt disconnected, confusing, and emotionally flat.

Key UX Gaps Identified
01
Fragmented Structure The editing panel appeared as a narrow form on the right, while the preview was partially shown on the left. This separation created a disjointed experience and made it difficult for users to understand the impact of their input.

02
Lack of Emotional Presence The memorial page — the heart of the experience — felt static and generic. It lacked storytelling, warmth, or personal visual cues that connect users emotionally to the page they were building.

03
Confusing Flow and No Progress Visibility The process was dense and form-heavy, with little feedback or guidance. Users didn’t know how far they had come, what was missing, or how their input would translate into a finished memorial.

Transforming the Experience with Clarity, Emotion, and Flexibility
I focused on the two most emotionally sensitive areas of the platform — the page creation process and the final memorial layout. Our goal was to support users gently and respectfully, through a structured and emotionally intuitive experience.
We redesigned the memorial journey into clearly guided steps, where each field appears exactly where it will be displayed on the final page — helping users visualize and connect with what they’re creating as they go.
