OVERVIEW

EliteMarket is a premium digital services marketplace connecting verified local sellers with buyers through a trust-first, mobile-first experience.

THE CHALLENGE

The Costa Rican digital services market lacks a premium-positioned marketplace. Existing platforms either look outdated or fail to establish the trust signals needed for high-value transactions.

AI-NATIVE WORKFLOW

01 Claude as UX Consultant Before opening Figma, I used Claude to think through the architecture: information hierarchy, navigation patterns, trust signals, onboarding flows.

KEY UX DECISIONS

Search-First Navigation The primary action is search, not a feed. High-intent marketplace users know what they want.

OUTCOMES

Component library: 13 components, all WCAG 2.1 AA compliant. Figma variables synced to Tailwind config.

WHAT WE LEARNED

The most valuable thing AI gave me was not speed — it was a thinking partner that never got tired of my questions.
