Quick overview

Ironbrush academy is an online art school that neede help with their website.

Artists struggled to understand course value, pricing, and learning paths, leading to hesitation and low conversion.

I redesigned the information architecture, clarified pricing, and aligned the brand with a more transparent and structured experience.

This resulted in a 50% increase in conversion and a 70% growth in organic community members.

Process

Process

I conducted competitive analysis, user interviews, and usability reviews with aspiring artists, students, and instructors.

Mapped the purchase flow end-to-end to identify friction points and moments of uncertainty.

Iterated through multiple layout and content structures, testing hierarchy, pricing models, and information grouping.

Users didn’t lack interest, they lacked clarity and confidence.

  • why it was valuable

  • how much it cost (and in their currency)
