Redesign projects are one of the best ways to demonstrate analytical thinking. Instead of designing from scratch, you evaluate an existing experience, identify usability gaps, and propose measurable improvements.
This helps showcase:
UX audits
heuristic evaluation
usability analysis
information architecture
interface refinement
Example
Redesign the experience of the My Robi Mobile Application to improve:
navigation clarity
mobile responsiveness
recharge flow discoverability
accessibility compliance
content hierarchy
You can also compare old vs. improved task completion flows in your case study.

Cart abandonment remains one of the biggest UX problems in e-commerce. Optimizing checkout experiences demonstrates your understanding of conversion-focused UX design.
This project can highlight:
friction reduction
behavioral UX
trust-building patterns
form optimization
mobile commerce usability
Example
Improve the checkout flow for Daraz by redesigning:
address entry
payment selection
