The UX Problem & User Persona Framing

Identifying friction points during discovery & defining user archetypes.

CORE UX PROBLEM

Traditional agency portfolios fail to convey immersive 3D spatial branding and interactive web motion without suffering from severe mobile page load lag, layout jumps (h-screen bug), and fragmented navigation flows.

TARGET USER PERSONAS
Marcus VanceVP of Product, SaaS Enterprise
PAIN POINT: Struggles to evaluate creative studios due to static, uninspiring 2D screenshot grids.
GOAL: Wants to test live 3D web performance, responsiveness, and interactive motion before hiring.
Elena RostovaBrand Director, Tech Startup
PAIN POINT: Confused by crowded service pages that lack clear visual hierarchy and progressive disclosure.
GOAL: Needs an effortless, sticky-card service breakdown to understand capabilities instantly.
