I’m Aspen Ma, a Bay Area Product Designer who brings clarity out of chaos. I create intuitive interfaces for information-heavy platforms, so users can make informed decisions quickly. Additionally, I refine the brand identities of early-stage startups so their digital presence tells a cohesive, compelling story. If you’ve got a project that brings value to people’s lives, I’d love to talk about it.

Improved scannability and search interface in fiction archive

I overhauled the search and browsing experience of a modular fiction archive to make it faster for users to find what they want. The new site uses powerful e-commerce style filtering users are likely to be familiar with. Along the way, I gave the site a visual update to improve information hierarchy.
