The Earn Tab
Turning passive users into active earners.
Super.com identified a new revenue stream in early 2023: users could earn money through games, tasks, and surveys. But the product wasn't ready. I led the end-to-end design of the Earn Tab — a dedicated hub that unified all earning opportunities and drove measurable growth in engagement, redemption, and card conversion.
01 — Context

A new revenue stream with no home to live in.

In early 2023, Super.com identified a significant opportunity: users could earn money through games, tasks, and surveys. The business case was clear. The product experience was not.

Earning entry points were scattered across the app with no clear hierarchy. The redemption flow was unintuitive. Users who discovered the feature struggled to act on it — and most never came back.

02 — My Role

Lead designer across the full product lifecycle.

I was the sole designer on this project, working in close collaboration with a Product Manager, two engineers, and the Data team. My scope covered everything from initial discovery to final delivery and post-launch iteration.

03 — The Problem

The old Earn Tab wasn't earning its place.

Through user interviews and session recordings, we identified four core failure points in the existing experience:

01Hidden entry pointsUsers couldn't find where to start earning. The feature lived 3–4 taps deep with no visual cues on main nav.
02Fragmented experienceGames, surveys, and tasks lived in separate sections with inconsistent UI patterns, forcing constant context-switching.
03Unclear earnings balanceUsers didn't understand how much they had earned or how to redeem it. Balance was buried with no redemption CTA nearby.
04Low return rateOnce users completed a task, there was no feedback loop or incentive to return. D1 retention was critically low.
