Overview

Context

The world of video games is constantly

expanding: every season brings new

releases while older titles resurface

through updates and re-editions.

This growing ecosystem has made

gaming a cultural medium that reaches

a wide and diverse audience, far beyond

the traditional tech-savvy profile.

The Challenge

Current tools for organizing and tracking

games often feel fragmented, unintuitive,

or overly focused on data, leaving behind

what truly matters: the player’s experience.

The Outcome

The result was Trakr, a social platform

designed to help gamers discover,

track and share video games in a more

intuitive and engaging way. By combining

clear navigation, personalized features and

a stronger social experience, the final product

creates a space where users can organize their

gaming journey while connecting with a like-minded

community.

The Process

A user-centered approach from

research to validation.

The creation of Trakr followed a user-centered design process that combined research,

analysis, and iterative design. The project began with benchmarking existing platforms to

understand the current market landscape and identify both opportunities and gaps in

functionality and usability. To ground the solution in real needs, I conducted interviews

with gamers to uncover their frustrations, motivations, and habits when tracking or sharing

video games. From these insights, I developed user personas that represented key audience

segments and guided design decisions throughout the process. Based on this foundation,

I mapped the information architecture and produced low-fidelity wireframes, which later

evolved into high-fidelity prototypes. Finally, usability testing with real users provided

actionable feedback, allowing for refinements and iterations that shaped Trakr into a more

intuitive, social, and engaging experience.
