Overview
I revamped the interface of Beam Studio, a web app and software designed for FLUX machines with over 40k active users. Beam Studio suffered from an outdated design system, inconsistent buttons and icons, and confusing layouts, leading to a poor user experience.
After the redesign was implemented, the software became more intuitive. Users were satisfied with the cosmetic enhancements, and there were fewer mentions of questions on how to perform certain tasks.

After two years without major interface updates, Beam Studio's new look and minor UX enhancements provided users with a modernized and refreshing experience.
The UI overhaul and small quality-of-life improvements streamlined Beam Studio's user experience, making it more intuitive and user-friendly for beginners. As a result, fewer users are raising questions about how to use the basic functions of the software.
