To help Messier empower individuals to unlock their creative potential, the team at Lion set out to reimagine creative experiences. By understanding the challenges and desires of the target audience, we set out to build a 0-to-1 product that would revolutionize the way people engage with their creativity. Through extensive user research, collaborative ideation sessions, and an iterative design process, we created an app that seamlessly integrates personalized creative exercises into busy lifestyles.
To empower creatives and address their pressing need for more creativity, we conducted extensive user research, defined a clear product strategy, and designed an MVP app that bridges the gap between busy lifestyles and the desire for creative fulfillment, fostering joy and personal growth.

Through rounds of usability testing, we iterated on the designs to ensure the product met the needs and expectations of our users and the business.
Wireframing played a crucial role in our design process by allowing us to visually structure the user interface and map out the user journey. We carefully crafted wireframes that captured the essence of the product, streamlining the user experience and ensuring a seamless and efficient flow. These wireframes served as the foundation upon which we built the interactive prototype, enabling us to gather valuable feedback and iterate on the design.
The visual design phase was dedicated to creating an interface that not only met the functional requirements but also inspired delight and engagement. We carefully selected color palettes, typography, and graphical elements that aligned with our brand identity and resonated with our target audience.
We used our deep understanding of user interface (UI) design principles and incorporated industry-standard patterns to craft engaging experiences that captivate users from the moment they interact with the product. By combining visually stunning elements with intuitive interactions, we ensured a seamless user journey that felt familiar yet delightfully unique.
Building upon the wireframes and visual design, we created an interactive prototype that simulated the product experience. It served as a powerful tool for usability testing, stakeholder presentations, investor calls, and allowed us to gather valuable feedback, iterate on the design, and showcase the product's potential.
Usability testing played a vital role in validating and refining the user experience. We conducted iterative testing sessions, both formal and guerilla-style, to gather insights and feedback directly from users. Through these sessions, we identified pain points, usability issues, and areas for improvement, enabling us to make data-driven design decisions and enhance the product's usability.
With a focus on growth and virality strategies, our aim is to continue helping them attract and engage a loyal user community while driving organic acquisition. We will continue iterating on the product to spark exponential growth and widespread adoption, bringing Messier closer to their vision of empowering the world’s creative potential.
