Case Study.
Improving statistics workflow.

Affise is a B2B performance marketing platform used by affiliate managers, analysts, and marketing teams to track traffic, conversions, revenue, and payouts.

The Statistics section is a core part of the product and the primary decision-making tool for most users.

Over time, the section became overloaded with data, filters, and configuration options, which negatively affected usability, speed, and trust in the interface.

Problem Statement

Users relied on the Statistics daily, but:

  • Key metrics were hard to scan and compare

  • Filters and presets were complex and inconsistent

  • Users frequently switched back to the old interface

  • Support team received recurring tickets related to reports, filters, and invoices

  • This created friction in everyday workflows and reduced confidence in the new design.

My role

As a Senior Product Designer, I owned the redesign of the Statistics section end-to-end.

I worked from problem framing and UX research through information architecture, interaction design, and validation.

I collaborated closely with the Product Manager, engineers, analytics, and support teams to align UX decisions with business and product metrics.

My focus was on improving feature adoption, reducing time-to-value, and decreasing support load by simplifying workflows, filtering logic, and data presentation.
