IDEATION
After finishing the research phase, I created wireframes and quick prototypes to test different concepts and user flows. I reviewed these designs with the PM, engineers, and stakeholders to identify an initial direction.
Through several reviews I iterated and improved the design until we felt we had a solid V1 to start testing.
A/B TESTING
Next we presented the new experience to a small audience and began a/b testing different elements. We used specific KPI’s to determine their effectiveness and after a handful of tests we were able to increase our engagement and conversion rates.
CREATING THE DESIGN SYSTEM
Throughout the design process I created a style guide, components, and design system to establish a consistent visual experience. Doing so helped the developers create a library of components and rapidly develop new features.
OUTCOMES
Overall this project was a major success and helped us record our highest day of revenue ever. During this project I learned the importance of clear collaboration with the developers to make sure our vision is aligned and how vital it is to have data recorded properly to make informed decisions.
