Save On Brokerage

Save On Brokerage

Project Overview

Save on Brokerage is a web based platform designed to help buyers and sellers connect directly through live Zoom events, removing the need for traditional brokers and saving users significant brokerage fees.


My role covered research and 0 to 1 product design to craft a clear, trustworthy, and simple experience that lets both parties discover properties, interact in real time, and make informed deals within a cost friendly setup.

My Role

I led the end to end UX process, from gathering insights to shaping them into clear, functional designs. This included user research, defining flows, wireframing, and crafting the final visual direction.


As the sole designer, I translated findings into a simple, trustworthy experience that helped buyers and sellers connect smoothly through live Zoom events.

The platform enabled buyers and sellers to close deals about 25% faster by simplifying the event based negotiation journey and reducing unnecessary back and forth. Direct, brokerage free connections helped users save an average of 30% in fees, reinforcing the core value proposition and driving stronger adoption during the early launch phase.

We acted out and recreated various user scenarios to explore all possible flows before finalising them. These flows were then turned into low-fidelity prototypes for the first round of testing.

Collaboration & Teamwork

Collaboration & Teamwork

Collaborating closely with the founder, I played a strategic role beyond design by shaping the product vision and user experience. I established a centralized project hub to align research insights, feature priorities, and design decisions. Leading regular workshops, I helped the team clarify goals, validate assumptions, and ensure a user-first approach throughout development.
