Introduction

At Contentful, I worked across B2B UX, content, and design operations. I helped improve the blog experience, supported content workflows, managed digital assets, and tested new AI features.

My role covered both the customer-facing blog experience and the systems behind it. I researched competitor layouts, created wireframes for a blog redesign, compiled and copyedited content in the CMS, maintained design system assets in Bynder, built AI-assisted workflows in AirOps, and reviewed new platform features for senior leadership. The work gave me a much broader view of how UX, content, operations, and product decisions come together in a B2B environment.

Overview

Problem

I was tasked with rethinking the blog structure to reduce early drop-off, surface CTAs more effectively, and create a clearer path toward conversion.

Using analytics, heatmaps, and Contentful’s internal data, the team identified a clear drop-off problem on blog pages. My role was to conduct competitive analysis on high-performing blog experiences, study their layouts, CTA placement, hierarchy, and interactive components, then translate those findings into wireframes that followed Contentful’s brand guidelines and were feasible for developer handoff.

Research

I reviewed high-performing B2B and SaaS blogs to identify patterns in content structure, CTA placement, and interactive elements that could improve Contentful’s blog experience.

The analysis showed a consistent pattern: high-performing blogs gave users more reasons to keep moving through the page. Clearer CTAs, compact layouts, interactive elements, stronger card behaviour, and better content previews all helped create a more engaging reading experience.

Solution

Turning competitive analysis findings into a design the team could actually build.

Implementation

Three changes shaped the new blog experience: richer interactions, better CTA placement, and an AI-powered TL;DR.

I explored several ideas for improving the blog experience, but feasibility and technical constraints narrowed the final implementation to three. Seeing those changes go live on a platform the size of Contentful felt like a real win. Below are the final features as they appear on the live site today.

Impact

30–45% increase in scroll depth and 5–10% growth in MQL & SQL leads.

After the changes went live, a senior designer on the team shared that key blog pages saw a 30–45% increase in scroll depth, with the new CTA placement, TL;DR and other updates contributing to the improvement. MQL and SQL leads from the blog also increased by 5–10%
