Rebrand: Capturing the High-Value Market

ProWritingAid is an online editing tool. The business imperative was clear: Capture the high-LTV creative fiction creative writers market. As a Product Designer on the Growth team, my mandate was to transform ProWritingAid's visual identity with collaboration with Brand Agency to make our value proposition instantly credible. This required more than a visual refresh—it demanded a systemic intervention to fix a critical accessibility flaw and establish a scalable Design Token Architecture, directly translating brand vision into measurable subscription growth.

New Identity Tailored High-LTV Creative Writers

The previous brand, established a decade ago, attempted to appeal to a wide, undifferentiated audience (academic, creative, and business writers).

Translated agency guidelines into a scalable product reality, unifying the marketing site, interface, and extensions under one cohesive identity.

Summary

Problem

Inconsistent branding and critical accessibility flaws were causing friction, failing to communicate the product's premium value to new target audience: creative fiction writers. I've worked closely with Brand Agency that provided Visual Style Guide.

Solution

I transformed a disjointed visual identity into a scalable, accessible design system. By resolving critical contrast failures and deploying a new token architecture, I turned a visual exercise into a fundamental UX improvement.

Impact

The new identity immediately resonated, driving a 10% revenue increase and a 14% jump in target-segment sign-ups in the first week.

Process

Business Challenge

The new brand identity was a large-scale project intended to professionalize the image and attract a higher volume of creative writers, who represent a high-conversion segment.

My mandate was to ensure the new brand was implemented flawlessly across the entire product ecosystem, turning a new logo and color into a scalable Design System foundation.

My role involved deep technical and design strategy to ensure the consistency that was previously lacking.

Design Evolution (Iteration 1)

Working from the core brand palette, I designed the entire color palette for the product.

Design explorations

Experimenting with new colors in product

Design explorations

Primary CTA's variants. I've realized the pink is not the best color for CTA's due to contrast issues.

Rebranding product

Each product component had to be transformed into new visual language

Design tokens

I researched and proposed the new naming convention for our design tokens, moving away from subjective color names toward a scalable, logical system.

Impact

The rebrand's launch successfully delivered immediate growth in key areas—+14% YoY revenue and +18% YoY in Creative sign-ups—validating the visual and strategic overhaul as a necessary investment for a high-value ICP.
