Zoan AI is currently preparing for launch.
Product preview available at: https://zoan.app/
Before joining Zoan AI, I used to ask myself:
“Will AI replace UI/UX Designers?”
But leading this project—from system rebuilding and UI redesign to shaping cross-platform experiences—made me realize something else:
👉 I wasn’t being replaced by AI. I was designing the interface for an AI platform.
Overview
Zoan AI enables teams and partners to build AI-generated interactive content through unified desktop workflows and a mobile chat-to-creation experience.
My responsibility covered the entire product surface:
• UI audit and redesign
• Design system foundations & component library
• Web & mobile experience alignment
Phase 1: Visual Challenges
As an early-stage product, the interface lacked structure and brand consistency.
This became the starting point for rebuilding the system from the ground up.
Phase 2: System Foundations
Resetting the visual language:
Colors
Typography
Variable System
A scalable token structure ensured consistency across both desktop and mobile platforms.
Phase 3: Component System
Building out the component library:
• Controls, forms, and overlays
• Cards, lists, and tables
• Navigation patterns
• Clear state variations
Each component included guidelines for behavior and implementation.
Phase 4: Cross-Platform Application
Desktop
• Dashboard and workflow management
• Asset and content organization
• Review and iteration screens
Mobile Experience
The same system was adapted for smaller screens to enable:
• Chat-based creation
• Interactive previews
• Quick content iteration
Phase 5: Motion & Micro-Interaction Design
Motion was introduced to:
• Guide attention and transitions
• Reinforce hierarchy and interaction states
• Elevate the experience beyond static UI
Timeline motion
App transition motion
These animations were designed modularly to scale with future features.
Outcome
The renewed system:
• Provided a scalable foundation for future development
• Reduced design–engineering friction
• Established a strong visual identity for fundraising and go-to-market
Working on Zoan AI didn’t show me that AI replaces designers.
It showed me that designers shape how humans interact with AI.
