Chatbot Animation Prototype: A UX Engineering Project

Overview

This project focused on creating a functional prototype of a chatbot animation, bridging the gap between design vision and development execution. The initiative was handed to me at the last minute after communication challenges arose between designers and developers.

Key notes

  • Created a chatbot animation prototype in hours using HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript to bridge design-developer communication gaps.
  • Collaborated closely with designers to refine the animation and delivered a polished solution developers used directly.
  • Converted the animation into a reusable React component for consistent integration across multiple products.

Key Features

  • Rapid Prototyping:
    Delivered a fully functional animation within hours using HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript, enabling developers to clearly understand the design intent.
  • Designer Collaboration:
    Worked iteratively with the design team to refine the animation until the desired outcome was achieved.
  • Scalability:
    Converted the finalized animation into a React component for seamless integration across multiple products.

Outcomes

  • Successfully translated the designer’s vision into a working prototype that developers used as is.
  • Delivered a scalable React component, ensuring consistency and reusability across the company’s product suite.
  • Demonstrated expertise in rapid prototyping, collaborative iteration, and scalable front-end development.
