From Misclicks to Smooth Store Search
This project was a service planning initiative aimed at improving the sales location search experience on Kia’s website. It focused on resolving the unclear and inefficient user flow for finding sales locations, enhancing information satisfaction, and helping users reach the next step—requesting a purchase consultation—more quickly. Ultimately, the goal was to optimize the user journey to drive business benefits. This was a company task completed as part of the recruitment process.

Problem Findings
High Misclick Rate & Low Information Satisfaction in Sales Network Search
I conducted a prototype-based usability test with 8 users who had recently purchased or shown interest in cars, using Maze. I independently led the user research and surveys to identify usability issues in the sales network search experience.
The findings revealed two key problems:
These issues highlighted both navigation and information delivery problems, negatively impacting the overall user experience and service trust.

User Journey
Low Discoverability, Missing Info, and Broken Trust: Insights from the User Journey
Building on insights gathered from user research, I created a user journey map to visualize the end-to-end experience and uncover deeper insights into user behavior. This approach allowed me to identify specific pain points at each stage of the journey, helping to translate abstract frustrations into clearly defined UX challenges.
As a result, I identified three critical issues that negatively impacted the overall user experience:
Low discoverability of the sales network search feature
Lack of consolidated information—such as vehicle availability and salesperson details—at a glance
Insufficient transparency in salesperson information, which reduced user trust and confidence in taking further action

User Research
Users wanted to see key information they considered important when browsing sales locations.
To further investigate the usability issues uncovered during testing, I conducted surveys and analyzed Voice of Customer (VOC) data to better understand users’ needs, frustrations, and expectations during the sales network search experience.
The research revealed that users prioritize three main aspects when browsing sales locations:
However, the current interface failed to deliver on these expectations, resulting in usability issues such as low discoverability, fragmented information, and user frustration.
User Need: Users want key information presented up front, without extra steps or clicks.Pain Point: Users struggle to find the sales network search and cannot easily access critical information they care about.

Design Goals & Strategy
Streamline sales network discovery and surface key information at a glance - enabling faster customer engagement and accelerating business impact.
Based on user research and journey mapping, we identified three critical pain points in the sales network experience:
To address these, we explored UX ideas that would directly target each issue, such as repositioning key CTAs, enhancing filtering features, and creating concise info summaries.
We then unified these into a single design strategy:‘Streamline sales network discovery and surface key information at a glance to enable faster customer engagement and accelerate business impact.’
This strategy not only simplifies user flow but also empowers decision-making by delivering the most relevant information upfront.

Solution 1
No More Getting Lost: Find Sales in One Tap
To improve entry into the sales search experience, we redesigned the interface based on observed usability issues.After implementation and testing, misclick rates dropped by 48.0%, showing that the new layout reduced user confusion and improved accessibility.
Solutions:

Low discoverability of sales search
Problem Statement 1
Usability testing revealed that several users struggled to complete a key task: finding a nearby sales location. Heatmap and click data confirmed frequent misclicks and navigation confusion, highlighting critical usability issues.
Problems:

No immediate access to essential info
Problem Statement 2
Usability testing revealed that users often struggled to access key vehicle and branch details, causing frustration and task delays.
Problems:

Solution 2
Essential Info at a Glance: Smarter Filtering, Less Effort
To address user frustration with scattered and hidden vehicle availability data, I redesigned the branch search interface to surface key details upfront. In A/B testing, 92% of users preferred the new layout, citing greater clarity and reduced search effort.
Solutions:

Lack of sales rep details prior to consultation
Problem Statement 3
After usability testing, I addressed user feedback and identified three main issues
Problems:

Solution 3
Quickly Find and Consult a Trusted Sales Rep for Your Car
To address user frustration with the lack of trustworthy information about sales representatives prior to consultation, I redesigned the sales rep section to provide clearer details. In A/B testing, 85% of users preferred a tab-based layout with key characteristics and ratings over long text introductions, citing greater clarity and efficiency in evaluating consultants

Achievement
No More Getting Lost—Find Sales in One Tap
To improve entry into the sales search experience, we redesigned the interface based on observed usability issues. After implementation and testing, misclick rates dropped by 48.0%—indicating that the new layout helped reduce user confusion and improved accessibility.
Solutions:
I linked the sales search directly to the “Purchase” button—removing unnecessary guesswork and aligning with user behavior. This change made access immediate and intuitive.
I replaced the vague label “Sales Network” with the more familiar term “Sales Search,” improving user understanding and reducing hesitation during navigation.
By relocating the sales search feature higher on the page, users no longer needed to scroll past unrelated content. Key actions became accessible at a glance.
What I learned
A/B testing is a step closer to usersThrough A/B testing, I learned to validate design decisions with evidence rather than assumptions. By comparing success rates across different layouts, I gained experience in measuring impact and using data-driven insights to guide iterative improvements.
Journey mapping is the key to understanding By creating journey maps, I learned to analyze the entire user flow instead of focusing on isolated screens. Mapping emotions alongside actions revealed hidden friction points and clarified opportunities, enabling me to design more intentional and human-centered solutions.
My Role
I led the full design process individually—from UX research and user testing to userflow, high-fidelity UI design, and interactive prototyping.
