Few experiements to solve workflows

SVG Asset Checker Service

Service

Internal Product

Small

PROBLEM

  • Low-quality or incompatible SVG logos require manual review, delaying orders and increasing the swag design team's workload.

SOLUTION

  • Built a real-time quality checks at upload entry point to catch issues early and provide clear, actionable feedback to the customer to resolve the assets issues, and submit again.

  • Built a rule engine, and a quick demo to test the svg assets with different set of guidelines, and priorities to check the assets quality in terms of size, resolution, true vector integrity.

OUTCOMES:

  • Decreased click up tickets for automated collections

  • Decreased # of products going into ‘needs approval’ flow under ‘higher DPI req’ category

Growth and learning @ Stadium

Working with Data

The Stadium team is obsessed with data. We use tools like Microsoft Clarity, Looker, and more to understand user behavior and product usage.


These tools give us a deeper understanding of how customers interact with the product, helping us identify opportunities and make informed decisions to improve the overall experience.


Personally, this experience has taught me how to use data to validate assumptions, make better design decisions, and focus on what truly matters to users.

Open Culture

Stadium has a complex ecosystem of operations, vendor management, and multiple teams working across different products.


There’s a Slack channel for almost everything. Following these conversations gives me a broader picture of how teams collaborate, how different parts of the business work together, and what’s happening across the company.


What I appreciate most is the open culture. Everyone is encouraged to ask questions, think big, and take initiative. It’s an environment that pushes you to look beyond your own role and understand the bigger picture.

Startup World

Stadium is a great example of how startups operate. Things aren’t always perfect, but everyone stays excited, motivated, and committed to figuring things out.


We think fast, fix problems, measure outcomes, and iterate on ideas. It’s a culture that embraces experimentation, learns by doing, and keeps moving forward.

B2B and B2C in a single product

Stadium builds products for teams, serving two key personas: Admins and team members, each with distinct needs, goals, and expectations.


Working on Stadium has taught me how to design a unified platform that caters to both personas, balancing their unique needs while creating a seamless experience for everyone.
