Simplifying legal terms into clear summaries that help people understand what actually matters.

Simplifying legal terms into clear summaries that help people understand what actually matters.

The Project

ClearTerms started at Sync the City, a startup event where attendees pitch ideas and turn them into reality in 54 hours. The project tackled a problem we've all felt. Legal terms that are impossible to read, understand, or act on.

The idea was simple. Take dense legal text and turn it into clear insights that help people quickly see what matters.

The Challenge

People skip legal terms because they're too long and confusing. Important stuff gets missed. Things like how your data gets used, hidden clauses, cancellation rules.

The challenge was building a research backed solution that lets users grasp critical info fast without drowning in text.

Research & Insights

We ran interviews and surveys to see how people deal with terms and conditions. The research kept showing the same thing. Frustration with how unclear and inaccessible everything is.

One insight stood out. Users want simple summaries and tools that surface relevant clauses, not walls of legal text.

Design Process

Early wireframes tested different layouts and interaction patterns, focusing on simplifying information while keeping things visually balanced. We kept testing and refining as we went.

User feedback drove features like simple summaries and clause-highlighting tools, making sure the design matched what people needed.

Branding

Branding was central to creating a clear, cohesive identity. The visual language guided wireframing and interface choices, keeping everything consistent.

Final Designs

The final work included high fidelity mockups with an intuitive interface and clearly marked features.

We built in tools so users could filter, prioritize, and understand key legal clauses.

Reflection

This project strengthened my ability to run user research under tight deadlines and iterate with a team. Connecting research insights to design choices and integrating team feedback were critical to delivering ClearTerms.
