In April 2022, I embarked on a groundbreaking project at EmmsFan Industries — designing an end-to-end event management and analytics web app, named Kirgawa.
As the sole UI/UX designer, the challenge was immense, but the opportunity to shape a product used by real people fueled my passion.
Kirgawa is an events management and analytics web app developed by EmmsDan Industries that aims to streamline event organization, attendee tracking, and ticketing while enhancing stage performance management and connecting organizers with sponsors.
Problem Identification
The landscape of event planning lacked a comprehensive solution that seamlessly integrated event creation, attendee management, and analytics. Recognizing this gap, the goal for Kirgawa was clear: revolutionize event planning by offering a platform that simplifies the entire process.
Designing the Onboarding Experience
Solution: To address the need for a smooth onboarding experience, I crafted an intuitive interface that guides users through the initial setup effortlessly. From user registration to the first event creation, every step was meticulously designed to ensure a positive and engaging onboarding journey.
Streamlining Event Creation
Solution: From the early design stages, the focus was on simplifying event creation. The interface allowed users to input essential details such as event name, date, and time seamlessly. The ability to generate online links for virtual meetings added a layer of adaptability, ensuring compatibility with various collaboration platforms.
Crafting Unique Event Details
Solution: I integrated features that empowered organizers to craft unique event experiences. Custom branding options, personalized registration forms, and tools for creating schedules and agendas provided organizers with the flexibility to tailor each event to their vision.
Efficient Event Management
Solution: Beyond event creation, the platform offered efficient event management tools. Organizers could add or remove attendees, add tickets, send notifications and reminders, and manage event schedules seamlessly. Real-time analytics and reporting features provided valuable insights during events, facilitating data-driven decision-making.
Sponsors and Sponsorship Packages
Solution: Recognizing the significance of sponsorship, Kirgawa was designed to seamlessly showcase sponsors. A dedicated section on the event page highlighted sponsor logos and brands. Moreover, the introduction of sponsorship packages allowed event planners to create comprehensive offerings, enhancing the value proposition for sponsors
