THE ASK
Leadership sought to combine their desktop coaching software with a self serve content library and form a seamless mobile-optimized platform to scale coaching availability & strengthen participant engagement. There was a hard deadline of three months to fully replace their current infrastructure with a modern tech stack able to support long term growth.

Carrying it forward
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
When beginning a new project I get excited about taking all the learnings from previous work and proactively tweaking my approach with the hopes of achieving even better results.
Thanks to like-minded teammates, ideas that I pitched & spearheaded around design systems, product identity, file organization, auto-layout, and presentation prep led to dramatic improvements in our combined effort. It was incredibly rewarding to see how early collaboration on these areas helped our team avoid some of the pitfalls I’d encountered in past projects and shine even brighter for our client partner.

The custom design system I built and aligned our design and dev team around allowed for rapid ideation and inspired user confidence when navigating the app.
Whether async or presenting to a group, design reviews are prone to derail from lack of context and direction. By starting each prototype with a clear landing page that guides feedback and familiarizes newcomers with viewing / commenting on figma prototypes we elicited more valuable critique and drastically reduce our review and approval process.
Branding was still in early stages so I took direction from what I could and built out a more complete identity suitable for product
Vulnerability as strength
LEADERSHIP
By opening the floor early and sharing my own desires for personal improvement our team excelled at nurturing one another, making great strides individually that not only improved this product, but all of our work going forward.
My two main focuses were on enhancing design team coordination and further improving my design presentations. It was thrilling to gain ground in these priorities by watching and getting advice from my teammates, and testing new ideas like a prototype introduction component I made.
On the flip side, both of my co-designers were looking to increase their mastery of Figma. By introducing pair-designing, regularly demonstrating my process, and hopping on quick calls to troubleshoot issues, they quickly became experts in auto-layout, component properties, utilizing design libraries, and advanced prototyping. Few things get me more fired up than a team that’s lifting each other up and celebrating everyone’s wins!

BUSINESS IMPACT
When you’re not weighed down by repetitive minutiae, you’re freed up to tackle the big hairy audacious goals.
The strong foundation we laid of a coordinated approach to design system utilization, product identity, file organization, and review cadence meant that we had ample time to explore each feature and find the most elegant solutions, all without losing sight of the overall business.
Pressure-tested solutions made for faster and more productive reviews and well-defined tickets that set developers up for ahead of schedule delivery.

This ain't no hobby
OWNERSHIP MENTALITY
Not content with turning in our work early, we seized the opportunity to go above and beyond the SOW, adding future state exploration, extensive design documentation, and strategic changes in the information architecture at various phases of the platform expansion.
Taking the vision forward in addition to our already outstanding progress secured a much larger contract to see the platform rebuild through to completion, continue future state planning, and conduct additional rounds of user testing.
