NextGem is a passion-driven marketplace and social network specifically created for sports card hobbyists, collectors, and investors.
Customer Challenge
While the app offered a suite of tools developed specifically to enhance the card sharing experience, users didn’t quite understand how to use them. Some of the challenges users faced while using the app were: declining app sign-ups due to a confusing UX and they didn't know how to finish setting up their accounts. Users needed a simplified but informative onboarding experience.

Why TDP?
Big Health reached out to The Design Project because of our experience developing consumer-facing apps that prioritize an easy-to-use and engaging UX. With proven product design processes that put the human first, Big Health knew TDP could help them create a tool that compelled users to take control of their sleep health more consistently.
The courage to experiment
User feedback is crucial in UX, and we’re not afraid to test innovative concepts and let the users tell us exactly what they think of them.
The expertise to back our bravery
While experimentation is part of the process, we use decades of expertise to uncover the strategies that get the best results for our clients.
Passion, passion—and more passion
While we could never love your product as much as you do… we still love it a lot. That means we care about your goals—and we’ll do what it takes to help you achieve them.
TDP designed and built NextGem’s improved user experience in just 2 months!
Results
Our research showed that the best approach was to user-test a prototype before any building took place. To maximize success and efficiency, we divided the project into three main parts: 1. Create a clear app preview so users understood NextGem’s layout 2. Make the sign-up process faster and easier 3. Eliminate confusion with a tutorial guiding users on how to set up their account This division meant we could design, test, and perfect each element quickly—allowing us to hand over the revitalized UX in just 2 months! Now NextGem users enjoy an intuitive onboarding experience that empowers and inspires them to share their collection more easily than ever before.
