Designing for Vosyn, a $2M pre-seed AI startup [UNDER NDA]
Improving Vosyn's multilingual co-watching sessions
During Summer 2025, I joined Vosyn as a Product Designer to help with the design of their co-watching feature for the MVP. I worked closely with a team of 4 Designers, 1 PO, and 1 CXO.

OUTCOME
I shaped Vosyn’s early user experience strategy for virtual event spaces.
By introducing clear user roles and simplifying key widgets, I reduced user frustration and facilitated a more seamless experience for friends/families and encouraged community.
APPROACH
The original user flow oversimplified the structure of online spaces. I remapped it to support 3 target user types.
The original design assumed all users experienced the event the same way. However, I advocated for role-specific flows like attendees and hosts, ensuring each user had the right guidance and tools at the right time.
We iterated many times on how to adapt the design to work within the existing media player.
The biggest challenge was adapting the design with the default media player layout to avoid an overhaul of the entire system. While prototyping, I used visual design to differentiate new widgets from old ones, and spatial grouping.
I designed around system limits like unstable connections and participant caps to keep the experience reliable for everyone.
After multiple design-test cycles, the final interface was both user-friendly and stayed aligned with technical limitations.
Through iterative AI-powered testing, I reduced user errors in key workflows by 90%. This improved task efficiency and created a more seamless experience for early adopters and communities.
Reflection
Designing with AI insights
Although AI-driven synthetic testing cannot replace real users, it can help save time and resources, and prevent the risk of human leakers for proprietary technology. I still needed to design thoughtful tasks, guide the focus of each test, and compile results into a clear, actionable format. but by automating the more time-consuming parts, I could make the most of limited resources.
Advocating for thoughtful change
Working in a small startup environment challenged me to balance advocacy with feasibility. I learned how to communicate design rationale clearly, align with technical constraints, and push for improvements that made real user impact.
