Overview
In my role as a UX Designer at RetainIQ, I led a project to integrate a comprehensive AI tool stack into our email personalization platform. This project aimed to elevate the platform’s capabilities by adding sophisticated AI tools, including Calendar AI, Content AI, Target AI, and Performance AI. The initiative required not only a deep dive into emerging AI technologies but also a complete redesign of the app to align with new branding and UX improvements.
